Best bet for cheap, effective results is definitely the 'double ender'. This is how TV used to do remote interviews before satellite was an effective solution. As ever, the occasional use of old school techniques will give you best results even in the Internet age.
A lot of audio-only podcasters still use this technique - record at both ends, then combine in post. For good results with video, especially in HD, recording at each source is best. If you have any control over the quality of the broadband connection at both ends you might eventually get to first-rate results, but I'd be surprised if it didn't take quite some time to perfect. This is all based on an assumed desire to keep the video glitch-free. If you are not too concerned with glitches, some frame dropping, or high compression on the footage, a web solution may do the trick just fine. But if you want a crispy clean final product, shoot at each end.
