As an affiliate, I prefer being part of an affiliate network.
All my revenue is pooled together and paid in one lump sum.
If you sign up directly with each company, you have to wait till your income reaches a certain level before they will pay you. So, you have to sell A LOT Of an individual product/service to receive your payment.
Whereas with an affiliate network, you're pooling all your sales together. If I generate $1k per week in sales, they wire it directly to my bank account every week. It would be much harder to do that for an individual product on it's own.
Also - using an affiliate network streamlines your income. It's much easier to keep track of activity on 2 or 3 affiliate networks than it is to track 50-60 products. You know who is going to pay you, when, and how much.
