Agreed that $ per player alone is too simplistic.

Yeah, of course the other extreme is silly too. I'd think a happy medium makes the most sense.
My point was this - simply saying that more rakeback means less risk is silly. When sites/rooms/agents are competing simply on who gives the most rakeback, margins get thin, and that increases everyone's jeopardy.
Rakeback %, on
any site, should just be one of many factors when deciding where to play.
