Best SEO-Use of Content: Articles or Posts?

I've asked someone to write ... let's call it "content" ... about several KW-related topics and I'm wondering the best way to use it - for the best SEO &/or pager-rank results: as articles or as posts on my blog.

I assume that if I submit the content as an article to an article directory, I shouldn't use it as a post on my blog, as well - right?

I can't really afford to have duplicate articles written for each of the 5 or 6 topics I have in mind. So, it comes down to choosing how to use the content for maximum SEO benefit - including how big a "bump" it gives me in SERPs, as well as how long that lasts.

I wrote a press release once and, surprisingly, a few days later I started getting inquiries (requests for quotes on small, unsecured business start-up loans) .. but then equally surprisingly, a week later, it fizzled out. Is that the kind of thing that happens with articles and article directories?

Also, can anyone recommend 1 or 2 of the better article directories to submit the content to (if that's the way I decide to go)?

Thanks,
Richard

    Dont take this as a professional point of view as this is just my opinion but i would use them as posts on your blog instead of submitting them to articles directories. Or even just use one or two of them for article directories and the rest as good content.

    Putting them on your blog and submitting them to social bookmarking sites would probably give you the same high for a week as a press release would if done right but then again , press releases are more professional.

    Just my 2 cents but i could be wrong

    Personally if you are paying for articles it's best to use them on your blog providing that the article is unqiue. If you are buying a "Reprint Rights Only" article which could be sold multiple times then it's best to use it on article sites. There is a useful list Here. The best sites are;

    einearticles.com and goarticles.com. I have written and posted over 500 unique articles and the best results and traffic comes from these sites.
