I'd try to work out a deal where you get both money and ad space. Asking for compensation sets the expectation that you won't be free in the future, and the ad space would be a nice gimme, particularly if they haven't sold out all their ad space yet. Just because the rag is free, it doesn't mean the publication isn't (hopefully) profiting.
Be sure to get a credit line on the page the image appears. I also wouldn't go the flat rate approach in the language that would appear in your agreement (contract) with them...that terminology starts to sound like royalty-free, and I'd assume you don't want them using your images whenever/however/wherever they choose in perpetuity.
Regardless, it comes back to your comfort level and your business...just be sure you the terms clearly stated have it in writing.
