SMB aka CIFS is a better choice than NFS, because it supports better locking (oplocks or "stealable" locks), but it is not as good as AFP for this particular purpose. Also, ZFS isn't going to be as space efficient at storing TM backups compared with HFS+, because it doesn't support hard links to directories.
