Yes, anyone can tell you.  Anyone who can use Google that is.  Can you?

I'd suggest whatever protocol is most suitable for developing 
client-server applications with the server *not* running as a Windows 
Service.  In other words, I don't think the manner in which the service 
is invoked has much impact on the protocol you would use.

Generally the best protocol is determined more by what your server will 
actually do, and performance requirements, than anything else.
