This is probably not a decision best left to the consumer. I am personally a fan of active architectures (AON). I think that they offer better CAPEX vs. OPEX performance and offer the best "future-proofing". However, offering a either a passive or active architecture would do little to change the value proposition of FFTH. However, offering a passive architecture, would leave open the option of selling an upgraded product further down the line.
