I believe you can write youself for just about everything (any product like health, life, annuities) as long as you are licensed to do so.
Commisions shouldn't have anything to do with what product you choose. Same with putting someone else in one. I have rates from 4 to 9 % but that doesn't dictate the product.
When you are writing it on yourself the commission is part of the return. So yes it should be considered.
