If "stable and tested" are the first priorities, I believe NFS has been in 
use longer than I have been alive.  It's not fast, and you may hit locking 
issues, but it is extremely simple, and if you need help, any UNIX guy 
that has been around for more than a couple years should be able to help 
you out.
As I said in a previous post, jumbo frames make a huge difference when it 
comes to NFS performance;  It's still not fast, but it is stable and 
tested.
