I think both offline and online recruiting are good, but I'd like to choose which one is best because that's what your questions asks.
Online recruiting is better than offline recruiting.
Why?
Self-Confidence (or lack of it)
Many offline recruiting methods require a little self-confidence. For online recruiting it doesn't matter how one feels about being face-to-face with strangers.
Location
While it's not impossible to recruit offline in cities or countries outside of your own, most offline recruiting attempts will generally be done in your own city only. Doing online recruiting allows you to market to the world inexpensively, and easily. You can reach more people online, and more quickly than reaching people offline.
Expense
While there are both offline and online free marketing methods, or very inexpensive marketing methods, online recruiting presents more opportunities to market or recruit at no cost, or inexpensively. Free-to-use advertising banners, splash pages and gateway pages can be used online. For offline marketing, even free-to-use flyers require at least printing.
Set-and-Forget
While doing something like putting a flyer up on a local community notice board or in your car window is a set-and-forget method or recruiting, as is using a car sign magnet on your car, there are many more places online to use set-and-forget methods of marketing or recruiting: using credits you've already earned in a manual traffic exchange site, paying for your splash page or gateway page to be shown many times in a traffic exchange site, placing an ad banner on your personal website or blog that is already getting traffic, adding a text ad to your existing signature in your emails, sharing a link on social sites or other sites.
Quality
While both the printed and digital marketing aids look good, the digital marketing aids do not deteriorate in appearance over time.
Convenience
You're at your computer anyway, working your SFI business. There's no need to get up from there to go and do some offline recruiting, if you are using online marketing or recruiting methods.
Matching
SFI is mostly an online business. Online recruiting matches up with this.
Target Market
Many forms of offline marketing and recruiting will be in areas where the general public is, many of whom will not be interested in joining SFI or TripleClicks. Some may not even use or have the Internet. Online marketing and recruiting not only targets mostly people who are already used to being online, but, and depending on where the ads have been placed, online marketing or recruiting can also be targeted to those who are already interested in starting their own business, or in making money from home, or in earning extra income, or in being self-employed (SFI), or in selling online, or in shopping online, or in penny auctions (TripleClicks).
