I agree with Andrew. Freemium entirely depends on what the perceived value is. And whether to give a free trial or offer a free offering is not mutually exclusive. Take YouSendIt for example, we have a free offering that is restricted on what size of files you can send and some other features which provide certain basic value. Beyond that, if you need to use the product on a more regular basic (a.k.a. power user), you can try the Pro version for a limited time. If you like what you see, you can enroll in a subscription plan. If you don't, you always have a choice to move back to the Free version with a more limited feature set.
And, in my experience, I have seen certain segments gravitate towards a certain offering. Enterprises have specific needs around having multiple seats or more power features and thus gravitate more towards free trials. On the other hand, more single seat users or individual sole proprietors may move between free and the lower priced SKU.

Yes, like you have said before I think it’s good to figure out whether the business model that we have in mind works. Like right now I'm still figuring out which business models is the most suitable one for my product/

Once again, we hold different world views. In my world your #2, is the first premium step, is pretty obvious to figure out what should be taxed, though price can be very tricky. After the simple premium is well established (and the enterprise is likely at least CFBE), a _hopefully_though_not_necessarily_ variable superpremium should be introduced to the mix.

At some unpredictable point along this progression, sales of a proprietary ad unit — and hopefully also a proprietary advertorial unit — work well.
