LC gives us multiple ways to connect to online databases. Is TSnet always the best performing method?
Generally if you are accessing databases over the internet then fronting them with an HTTP-based gateway is by far the 'best' option - especially when considered from a security standpoint (that's not saying it completely replaces direct socket access - the latter just requires more IT infrastructure to ensure it is secure; which makes it less generally useful, and probably best to avoid entirely in a mobile/unlocked down over-internet access setting).
So, I'd say tsNet is definitely the best way to access HTTP APIs - it is more efficient and has async (request with callback) for all HTTP method types (well, it will in 1.3.1 - there's a couple of HTTP methods missing in previous versions).
