IIUC, the question is not just, which is the fastest tool. If you have
network problems (ie. intermittent connections) or fear thereof, you
need a fast *and* a reliable tool.

I suggest you stick with rsync. IMHO it is the best tool for your task.

With the -c option, eg. you could check, whether all files transferred
correctly, without much demand on the network.
