Of course, we don't subscribe the the "maintenance and reports" version of the ongoing contract. There really needs to be much more than that. What is "maintenance"? Is it link building? Great, then say so. Is it reports? OK, Cool. What else? Is it link building and tweaking but only when rankings drop? Well, that's OK if you're not paying a lot, but that's still single-serve to me. All you can eat means you're constantly going out and optimizing for more keywords every month. And then some more again and more again. Thanks igor!

With this post you make it clear and easy to make a decision. If I was a client I would chose the #2 (All you can eat). Problem is ... many SEO companies offer this at $400 to $1,500 month and when you ask them specifically what will be done you can translate their "blah blah" to "duh, well, umm, reports!" You're right. SEO is an "ongoing" process and even if you achieve great results for a client, with time their rankings will drop because while they relax, their competition won't.
