Already using Kerberos everywhere?  If not, don't bother with AFS.  I'm not 
sure about Coda, but I think it is the same situation.

NFS (v4 if you can) is still the "go-to" for accessing a file system across a 
network connection.  (NBD, iSCSI, and ATAoE all operate underneath a file 
system, you might be able to use them with a cluster-aware file system for 
sharing, but double-mounting a normal file system is a no-no.)
