   If you plan to convert to SSL eventually, then I would use TCP for Version   
   1.  Although there are   
   differences between TCP and SSL (SSL is more complicated) both of these   
   protocols provide the   
   same type of service (stream).   UDP provides a datagram service, so you   
   have to deal with a   
   different set of issues.
