When finding both Mobile and direct lines for prospects, which number has a higher success rate?

Personally I have had success from both, but I've noticed that some prospects are annoyed when getting called on their mobile.

Direct yields better results for me most of the time. A lot of people don't answer random numbers on their cell phone, especially if they use their cell for personal as well. Doesn't mean I won't call a cell - I definitely will, but I try the direct line first.

Direct. I'm not abusing use of mobile cell phone power. I like to have a relationship first. 

Also I have a pretty good call blocker on my cell. I'm sure many people do now.

For all you mail mergers out there, do you see more success emailing one DM or all DMs on a custom thread? I've noticed that putting all relevant DMs on one campaign that is 100% customized to their business has a much higher response rate (28% meeting sucess)

Using the prospects first name in the subject line helps with more open rate?
