I have been developing a few sites in Concrete now, including hosting.

I am looking at joining one of the Partner programs, but am not to sure of the different options they offer.

I have read through both options, and it would appear I could sign up to either/both(may do next year), for now I would like to try just one.

After getting quite deep into the development now thinking of taking it to the next level, what are your thoughts please

Is there a preferable first choice and the private areas, do they differ depending on the program signed up for?.

The sites are being hosted on a Unix based server running plesk, so that veers me towards the hosting package, but I feel I am doing a lot more developing work along with actual use of the concrete sites and features so maybe the Service Program is better suited?

Any thoughts or opinions to help me decide or point me in the right direction would be gratefully received.
