Cygwin ssh will make the windows system more linux-like.  That is, in
addition to the encrypted connection, you can install a bash shell and
the usual unix-like tool set.  If you want to work in a mixed
windows/linux environment it has the advantage of letting you use ssh
connections/commands everywhere.

Openvpn just gives you a secure network connection tunneled through
the internet.  You get a different IP address that looks like a point
to point connection so you can keep the public network firewalled.
The advantage here is that you can use any other network tools over
the VPN too - like vnc or remote desktop in addition to winexe and
rsync.

Either approach will work - I'd pick whichever fits your usage better.
