for traffic arbitrage stay far away from datacenter ips, ad networks will flag the clicks as fraud instantly. you need clean residential or mobile proxies so the traffic actually looks like real users. mobile is the safest but can get expensive at scale, so rotating residential is usually the sweet spot for keeping costs down while still avoiding bans.

Proxellor is right about this.
Mobile proxies can deliver the best CPM and CPC, but the ROI may be lower due to higher data costs. Even with dedicated unlimited mobile options and on demand IP changes, you are still limited to one IP at a time, and each IP swap can take 30 to 60 seconds. You may also run into IP capping, typically around 1/24 range.
On the other hand, residential proxies are more cost effective and offer a much larger IP pool. This makes them better suited for bypassing daily IP caps, reducing data costs, and still maintaining decent CPM and CPC performance.

you will have to likely go with 4/5g but its not 100% reliable

For traffic arbitrage it usually makes more sense to avoid datacenter IPs, since ad networks can flag that traffic pretty fast. Most setups work better with rotating residential or mobile proxies because they look closer to real user traffic.
Mobile can give the highest trust, but it’s harder to scale and often more expensive. Rotating residential is often the practical middle ground - larger IP pool, lower costs, and still decent delivery stability if request patterns are not too aggressive.

Honestly, I’d go with mobile proxies, they usually perform the best and get flagged the least.

It really depends on how strict your traffic source is. From what I’ve seen, datacenter proxies are cheap but get burned fast, especially on anything finance-related. Residential is kind of the sweet spot for cost vs reliability, but if you’re dealing with very sensitive funnels, mobile proxies tend to last way longer even though they’re more expensive.
For investment traffic arbitrage, residential proxies are generally the best option since they appear as real user IPs and are less likely to get banned. If you’re focused on higher speed and larger volume, premium rotating ISP proxies are also a strong choice.

For investment traffic, I'd focus on clean residential or ISP proxies with accurate GEO targeting. The exact choice depends on the traffic source and platforms you're working with, but IP quality is usually more important than the proxy type itself.

I will recommend high quality residential or 4g \ 5g mobile proxies.
For traffic arbitrage, just use fast rotating residential proxies or mobile proxies. Speed and clean IPs are everything if you're testing landers or redirecting traffic. Datacenter proxies are a waste of money here; ad networks will just flag your traffic as bots instantly.

It really depends on what you're doing in the workflow. For account creation, ad account management, and geo-targeted testing, residential proxies are usually the safer choice because they tend to blend in better with normal user traffic. For high-volume data collection or tasks where IP reputation is less critical, datacenter proxies can be much more cost-effective. I'd focus more on having stable sessions, the correct geolocation, and keeping a consistent browser/device fingerprint. A lot of traffic arbitrage issues that get blamed on proxies are actually caused by poor account hygiene or fingerprint mismatches.
