Which of These Networks is the Best? (Please Read)

Which of these Networks is the Best?​
Hi! My name is Dan (aka ThunderBow98), and I make Minecraft Pocket Edition Videos. At the start of my channel (around 50 subscribers) I applied to multiple partner networks in the hopes of getting accepted. Obviously, none accepted me. Back in January 2013, when I hit around 200 subscribers, I was approached by the network known as Necessary Gaming. I had heard of them, did a bit of research, and decided to jump at the opportunity to grow my channel (note I didn't sign the contract with them).

A little more than a month later at 500 subs, TGN approached me, requesting a partnership. I know a lot of good things about TGN and many of the "growing" channels use that network. I was about to sigh the contract when I was AGAIN contacted by another network, this time Acfin. I had never heard of them, and wasn't going to sign the contract.

Just today, Juicetra emailed me, inviting me to Visio Network.

After doing a bit more research, I found out that Acfin, TGN, and Visio are all owned by Broadband TV. Necessary Gaming is owned by some other company.

I would like to know which one of these 4 networks is the best:
  • Necessary Gaming
  • TGN
  • Acfin
  • Visio
I know it seems stupid not applying to other networks, but it seems whenever I do, I don't get accepted into any. So I'm sticking with these 4 and I will go with the best. In a network, I am looking for: the best contract, the best payout, and the one that will get my channel out in the open and known to the public. (One more thing to note: my channel currently has 1900 subscribers)
I would really appreciate you leaving your opinion down below explaining which is the best. I know I can do some research on my own, but after looking at all 4 I am kind of tossed on which to go with. Thanks for the help!
 
All the BBTV subsidiaries will be fairly similar in terms of contract (length, CPM). They might differ more in terms of support, but honestly I'd say they will all be mediocre at best. BBTV as a whole has *very* low CPMs to returns are generally very bad: http://yttalk.com/threads/broadbandtv-really-really-really-lame-cpms-bbtv-and-subsidiaries.66041/

A clarification:

I was approached by the network known as Necessary Gaming. I had heard of them, did a bit of research, and decided to jump at the opportunity to grow my channel (note I didn't sign the contract with them).
Did you partner with them? Partnering with someone without signing a contract means they have no obligation to release you --- or even pay you.

As for Necessary Gaming, I have never heard of them and not sure who they are with. Reading their FAQ page they sound awful: http://www.necessarygaming.com/index.php?pages/faq/

Q: What happens if my partnered channel receives a copyright strike?
A: Copyright issues are taken very seriously in our network. Please be sure to avoid copyrighted music and video footage in your videos at all costs. We cannot help you remove strikes from your account and we cannot recover banned channels.

SERIOUSLY? You won't help a channel at least attempt to get the strikes removed? Honestly this network sounds like s**t just from that.



---- beyond those networks I'd suggest: ----

1) Stay with adsense. You can monetize Minecraft on adsense just fine. Just be careful if you add music.

2) Join a different network. Personally I joined a large and relatively exclusive network and am very happy with the CPM and rev shares so far. You might be able to get in if you want. You seemed fairly set on the above but feel free to read more: yttalk.com/threads/i-just-got-partnered-i-did-my-research-have-you-done-yours-guide-advice.52842/
 
I was with TGN for quite some time and it definitely had it's issues. It helped me quite a bit promotion wise but money wise not so much. They have been working really hard to make it better though. Visio my friend was with and basically got nothing from them. As for the other two I couldn't tell you.
