SMB2 for high-performance writable shares, WebDAV for high-performance read-only shares, also firewall-friendly. Sftp is useful, but is pretty slow, only good for small amounts and small number of files. (Or maybe i don't know how to cook it properly.)

SMB is great for LAN, but its performance over internet is poor. It remains SFTP and WebDAV in that case. SFTP would be my choice, if there is client support.

I suspect that NFS over Internet is also not the most brilliant idea; I assumed the LAN setting.
