Usually the "best" way depends on your specific circumstances. Will the two applications be running on the same machine? If not, do the two machines have a high speed network connection or some slow radio modem type connection? How much data are you sending and at what rate? Do you need really tight timing or can you get by with some delays and sloppiness in the communication?
