Would you prefer it if wikipedia just ran a line of ads all the time?

I think the real answer is it doesn't really matter. Especially for those of us with adblock.

I agree and hence if it means more profit for Wikimedia organization, from people who do not use or do not know about adblock, then it is definitely a better choice than the current donation model.

As long as they were clearly marked as Ads and small text-based ads, then yes.
