The usual answer: It depends. I prefer FC as the latency is typically
less during read access to blocks.

Similar the network between the GlusterFS servers and the clients. Less
latency means more responsiveness while accessing small portions of
data. The difference between TCP over GigE and RDMA over Infiniband is huge.
