There are so many reasonable answers, it's hard to know where to start.  
Perhaps if you could give us some clue as to what the server does, it 
might help.

What kind of data are you passing back and forth?  Text?  Binary?  Is it 
important that the communication be as efficient as possible, or is it 
more important that the code be easy to write?  Are you worried about 
security?  Will you ever need to interoperate with other systems written 
in other languages?
