Flash Remoting, NetServices or RemotingConnector?

Hey all, please point me to an article or let me know what you think about two methodologies I have to decide between.

For a lot of projects in the past i have used the NetServices and NetConnection class to access webservices, and thought this was pretty elegant because it just required a class import and no components on the stage.

Recently though i read that NetServices and NetConnection are deprecated and a new file I’m dealing with for a client uses the RemotingConnector component and a lot of other associated classes which I haven’t used yet, but which I assume are part of a more modernized webservices approach. It seems though that I have to use components in the library and/or stage, which kinda makes me feel like NetServices and NetConnection was a cleaner way to do things.

Please oh wise and mighty kirupans, instruct me as to which path I should take and why.

Thanks much,
