From my experience it´s easier to work together with publishers. Many small publishers are willing to sign non-exclusive contracts. So you can get in contract with more publishers and you can sell the game in a lot of countries.
Besides that you´re even able to sell it by yourself, if your contracts are non-exclusive.
Keep in mind that you´ll need different versions for different countries.
After all a good publisher will provide you with tips, content and motivation. You should get in touch with your first publisher as soon as you can. You must accept some changes, basically when it comes to graphics and user interface.
These are my thoughts so far...

how much in % can you request if the game is finished with the installer, manual, onlinescoresystem, website and so on so the publisher has "nothing else" to do than burn the cd, and print the package.
50%, otherwise the publisher has a problem...
