 We're moving to these models because of the recent bot and spam issues (replyguy etc...).

WoT and Outbox work well together to reduce spam, but they don't explicitly increase discoverability.

nostr.wine is a great way to boost discoverability, but at the price of dramatically increased bot and spam traffic. 

I would suggest using nostr.wine in the short term to boost your discoverability at the cost of bots and spam, then switching to an outbox + WoT model once you have reached your intended audience to facilitate a less spam ridden experience.
