The USD 0.50 matters most at low prices
The 10% part scales with the price, but the USD 0.50 does not. On a USD 5 product the total fee on your own link is USD 1.00, which is 20% of the price. On a USD 19 product it is USD 2.40, about 13%. That is one reason a bundle or a slightly higher price can leave you with more per sale. Whether it sells at that price is a different question, and only your own views and sales can answer it.
Own link or Discover?
Discover costs more per sale (30%) but it can show your product to people who have never heard of you. Your own link costs less but only works if you already have people to send there. Neither is better by itself. If nobody sees the product, the fee is zero and so is the sale.
