throughput on each of these is theoretically:

standard USB = 11mbps
USB2.0 = 400mbps (allegedly)
ethernet = 10/100mbps

considering the connection will only be using 150k (0.15mb) i can't see any of those being a problem.

i'd go with USB if you want ease of use.. but ethernet if you want to share your connection easily.

as long as you buy a main-stream branded network card.. the ethernet option should be just as easy as the USB option to set up.
