Personally, my masterbackend hosts all the storage.  This way, even if 
the slave backend isn't running you can still watch the program.  
There's a setting called "Masterbackend Override" that will have the 
master backend stream the file if the slave backend isn't available.

Definately nfs - make sure you use version 3.  The HOWTO has a section 
on this.  People have run into issues with SMB and files that exceed 2 GB.
