rsync with ssh, you can sync either way, only update what you need to.
Get it all set up properly, then run a cron to sync, check your cron logs regularly.

You could get away with a dialup connection ... put that in the cron as well :-) It would really depend on how active your accounts are.
Check the files that you would be updating every day for at least a week. Find out which ones change (aide can help there), do some calculations and figure out what your data traffic will be and what time constraints you are under. Then shop for the bandwidth that will do the job with some numbers that count.
