If I remember right (I've made the switch 2 years ago ... I think... ) 
lftp gave me more reliability from an unattended mode perspective. Since 
I have sticked with it for my backup. If all three options work for 
you... It really a matter of your specific needs / taste... I'm not 
advocating lftp...  but it's probably a solid alternative to know...
