SSHFS is generally meant to be used as a single-user filesystem; if multiple
people are going to be accessing the mount, you may want to go with NFS.
Also keep in mind the overhead from the encryption will make any SSH transfers
noticeably slower than it's NFS counterpart.
What I 'use' SSHFS for is to mount my $HOME at work to local $HOME/work so that
I can edit my scripts using my local tools, as opposed to having to do
everything over SSH. SSHFS isn't meant to be an encrypted answer to NFS, it's
meant to do little things like that.
At least that's my opinion; I guess you could technically use it any way you
want.
