Hi.. I see no advantage of using abstract factory patern in your case,except if you need to create different types of logger for different purposes(which is not likely the case). Singleton is the proper one, since you only need single object to do the logging for the whole application. When you implement your logger as a singleton, you should synchronize the call to the getInstance method. Another issue, for the network bw consideration, when you declare the logger in a class, you might need to use the "transient" keyword in your declaration, so that the logger object wont be the transmitted over with the other class components(it doesnt necessary to do so), when the class is used/called.
