I'd always prefer NFS due to native support of Linux and the little config 
effort. But NFS might be critical in case of security issues, it has no 
valuable security features. 

But before you posted your query, I'd have always said that SAMBA is the 
slower option. How did you recognize the NFS problems? Just for interest...

Have fun,
