let's keep the question simple. WHICH filesystem would be best for this type of operation? SMB, NFS, or iSCSI?
ISCSI is not a file system, its purely a block device. works best over fast low latency dedicated links.
I think NFS would be better for unix to unix than SMB. SMB/CIFS is better for MS Windows, but neither works very well over high latency connections.
