answer, instead of asking for opinions from
people who can know but little of your
environment?
You left out "rcp".

Then I'd expect ssh/scp to add some
unnecessary overhead.
Samba was intended for use with Windows
systems. I wouldn't drag it into a
Linux-Linux transaction.
If your CPUs are faster than your network,
you might find it helpful to compress the
data before the transfer (and expand them
after). If your CPUs are very fast, you
might gain more from bzip2, which probably
compresses better than gzip.

Re: which one is fastest smb/nfs/ftp/scp
Yes I have experiment all, but I used to ask questions because by design I am unfortunately not a techy.
And I have always found very rich suggestions/advices from this forum.

Re: which one is fastest smb/nfs/ftp/scp
if possible also look into the possibility of compressing the files before the transfer. You should experience a considerable gain in the transfer times in either option selected.
good luck!
kind regards

Does this really work? I would have thought this would be limited by the size of the pipe.
On HP-UX the size is a trivial 8 Kb.

Whoa. Why didn't I think of that?
No, wait...
