If you're going with advertising, plan 5 definitely sounds like the best way. if ad revenue is N per page view, allow members to pay N to see no ads, pay N+1 to replace it with one of my own, N+2 to buy the space off of the N+1 guy from before.

another benefit is that if ads become part of the social experience, it would discourage adblock. on that note, if you do go with ads, put a pretty please disable adblock message behind that displays to adbock users, I'm sympathetic to those requests and if a page's ads are not annoying and it's operators are deserving of the revenue in my opinion i'll whitelist the website.
