My take would be register them as the billing contact and remain as the adminstrative contacts - the NIC should then have a page set up that the custoemr can go with a confirmation number to add their credit card info directly - they could afford them a 3 day window to do so - or the domain would be deleted. They could also tag a domain that has been reregistered a 2nd time and demand payment up front before it is registered this time - that gives the customer 1 bite at convenience - and then hve to put up in order to ever actually get that particular domain.

My only problem with Pay Up Front is that some customers are going to be dead beat about paying us. I would want to make sure that there was some recourse to collecting our money or having the domain placed on hold until fees are paid. The only way that I can see doing that now is to register the domain under our name and then transfer it later once we get paid. Way to much work.
