It depends on what you want to do. I run my OSX slaves with the web start and a login script. This allows my tests to interact with the window manager. If you don't need that, then sticking with ssh is good. The only downside I can see to the ssh setup is that you need to allow ssh on your OSX machine, which potentially opens it up to some attacks.
