Normally, per "man iptables" documentation, you MASQUERADE traffic that is on some sort of dynamic IP connection and SNAT traffic that is on a static IP connection. The main difference is that MASQUERADE will clear the state of MASQUERADing / SNATing when the interface goes down where as SNAT will not do so. The idea behind this is that you will likely get a different IP when you reconnect with a dynamic connection and thus the state information is stale and invalid. Seeing as how you have a static IP on your INet connection I would change the MASQUERADE target to be SNAT.
