Yes, I'm biased coming from the role of a 2.5 year-old mercenary, but I could not be a 2.5 year-old mercenary without ISK. No ISK without contracts, and no contracts without being effective. Think about it.
I would bet that MC makes considerably more from its T2 BPO portfolio (how many do you guys have again?) than it does from its contracts.
Not a flame, just an observation.

Whilst not a mercenary or someone who has hired them, I do belong to a corp that's had multiple merc corps simultaneously hired against it.
My own experience was that whilst some of the merc corps were very proficient in what they did, there seemed to be a complete lack of co-ordination between them.
Good co-ordination between pilots arises out of them flying alongside each other for extended periods of time.
Therefore, I'd have to say that a hundred mercenary pilots from different corps will not in general be as effective as a hundred man pvp corporation.
Additionally, if your mercenaries do wipe out your enemies for you, what then? You're left with a larger territory than before, but you will have drained your wallet and you'll have nothing to defend your gains with.

Nobody has the power to shape the future of eve besides CCP - not even all the mercs in the game x10.
50 skilled pilots > 10000 'fulltime veteran mercs' in the current state of gamemechanics/server performance.

Megaalliances always downplay the effect a pvp corp has on them. Especially in my time in Celes, but have also seen it once or twice in MC. I just think of it as a shield of mental defence, so they don't feel as vulnerable as they should. Quite often have I heard something in the lines of "You helped us getting rid of our empire people, who dont pay attention". That statement does ring quite false, when you have just had an outnumbered engagement, and to save face they say something in those lines also.
I do feel that most big alliances, feel safe from crumbling from the sword(high slots?) of smaller corps due to the fact that they have big numbers, and thus aren't efficient at all. I also think that certain members within these big alliances feels that someone else can take care of the problem that has arisen - and therefore ignore the channels. Enough people like this, and the big alliance is reduced to a small corp(those who are willing to fight to defend their home) of various corps, and therefore not efficient either(usually). Keeping the pressure on such an alliance, along with their "natural" enemies attacks, the industrial side that can't be as efficient as it usually was - will in time make it crumble. The first signs of this is when certain corps start to leave the alliance, cause they joined it to feel safe and make tons of isk - and now found out, that there isn't such a thing in Eve(at least not for long).
This is only how I perceived it, and the truth may be very different.
EDIT: I think both Darth and Seleene are right in this thread. Its like the saying "Size doesn't matter, its how you use it"... but if you have both(in this case size of wallet), I guess you can't go wrong.
