I'd vote for Gigabit Ethernet as an interface. It offers the following: 1. Place the USRP very close to the antenna.
2. Distribute the signal to multiple computers. (Multi-cast IP) 3. Very low cost infrastructure of Ethernet switches and cables. 4. Ethernet is easier to use across common platforms like Windoze/Linux/Embedded systems.
