Me to i think that is better that the token is blocked right now: because the project is yet in working progress and has not started yet, so the people can't see their value and they could sell it at very low price. I want that the project can start soon and produce dividends and a lot of money.
I'm not in the U.S. So I prefer the token version that pay dividends!
It will take many months (at least one year in my opinion) before the first dividends will be paid, don't expact that in the near future. At start I think it will be better to go for DPRU because of the voting power, but we can switch to DRPS at every time, that's the cool part of DRP/U/S.
