a) option seems more likely to be a success and less hassle in my eyes.

In a similar manner as being a sales guy is much better than manufacturing guy in terms of who would be more likely to grow company (sales guy who simply hires manufacturer or manufacturer making the product himself).

Sales guys > production guys, imho.
A talented programmer isn't working for the money porn pays. There are far better-paying gigs than porn. How do I know? My brother is a very talented programmer and we employed them back in the day and they left for greener fields. The level of programming required to build a porn site is minimal.

No matter how the sales and marketing is, shit is still shit. This is 2016 not 1998. Get with the program.

As for hiring a content producer. Can you afford to compete with what the top companies pay? If not you end up with crap.
