Spread or Commison Broker in Forex Trading?

There are different types of brokers out there and most of them have different business models, what's the best business model depends on a trader and how he trades, for swing traders it makes more sense to pay spread because they're expecting to hold a trade for quiet a long time and if it goes in their direction they'll be over the spread in no time.

But it's totally different for a Scalper who makes money from the short impulsive move in the market and also do not stay long in the market, most scalpers are in and out in 10 seconds and they can open up to 100 positions a day, paying spread can hinder their progress instead they opt for commission which is mostly static.
