I find HTTP much easier to use and debug. It might be slightly different 
now that NFS is using TCP. But only having to ask for tcp/80 to be opened 
in one direction and being able to check a log-file for troubleshooting is 
worth my time :)

The same firewall rule is then used for installing updates using apt 
(although in some environments we set up a remote tunnel using SSH).
