Rysnc over ssh will have some additional load for encryption - but you 
can minimize that by using blowfish.  If you don't need encryption, the 
choice should be more about which you'd rather set up and whether you'd 
use ssh for anything else.  In older versions of the windows/cygwin 
ports of ssh and rsync there was a bug that would make it hang at random 
when rsync was started by sshd, but that is fixed in the current (1.7.x) 
versions.  It's probably easier to set up a standalone rsyncd on 
windows, but with ssh you can mix/match windows and linux without much 
regard for the differences.
