Freenx will give the best response over low bandwidth or
high latency (many hops) connections and isn't bad
locally either.  Vnc is the most versatile - there is
even a palm pilot version and with a little tweak of
your X configuration it can grab the live console
session which is handy to check remotely on long-running
programs.  Xorg/Cygwin X are very good over fast local
connections and have the least overhead on the server
(probably not an issue unless you have a lot of remote
GUI users at the same time).
