Yeah it's a hard one. I run over twenty websites that have organic and paid traffic and it all depends on our target audience.
Everyone has their own opinion.
What I'm trying to say is some people hate ads, where others trust them over organic.
Some people think organic is just a hit and miss, others think if they're at the top they must be good.
See what I mean? If you ask a "professional" that crunches numbers all day, you might get a figure of 60% prefer ads.

Free or paid says nothing about the actual quality of traffic. You can get awesome paid traffic from one source and shitty free traffic from Google, or vice-versa. The main idea isn't to get the traffic "free" or paid. It's whether the traffic is targeted to your niche and looking to BUY.
On the note of paid traffic, you can get your ass handed to you even if the traffic converts very well. It's all about how much you'll need to spend to make a sale. It's not always easy and the competition is fierce. If you're only an affiliate you need to take into account the fact that you're only getting a percentage of the profit from the sale. Which is why the product/service owners themselves will turn a bigger profit from the same sale and are likely to afford to outbid you for the same traffic, as they don't have to pay you a cut.

This is like asking "who's better in bed", men or women?

As per my experience - Conversion rate is dependent on your landing page, No matter whether you are getting traffic from paid or organic. Make your website or page easier to use as much as possible. Please note that anything from 1% to 99% potential sales could be lost just because of poor usability. 
Hope that helps!

Organic traffic can offer you a reliable long term benefit with regards to conversions. Paid traffic may also not all be the same, if you are talking about adwords and the like, then it would usually depend upon your niche.
