The basic tradeoff is more or less buffering. The network load will stay pretty much the same (the packet overhead is not significant - it is the amount of data that needs to be transferred that is the determining factor), but what you can do is trade track/album startup delay for protection against mid-track dropouts. If you aren't getting dropouts mid-track, increasing buffering/delay isn't really buying you anything. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
