Which one is better?
‘Better’ is quite circumstancial here.
Remoting’s uses Binary Serialization so takes up less space over the wire and is generally faster, but will only work with .net on both ends. The versions of your dll’s have to match, and you can host server endpoints in applications without requiring IIS.
Webservices are a bit more flexible as they’re done using XML, are designed to interoperate with other providers (Java, Python etc).
Alternatively, have a look at WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) as it’s where things are heading in the .net world. It allows you to write the code once and then host it on various endpoints
