netTcpBinding or wsHttpBinding

I have a WCF Service hosted as Windows Service and client is an ASP.Net application consuming WCF Service methods.

In process of implementing security, I am confused over which among netTcpBinding/wsHttpBinding will be suitable for my case.

Most likely all the applications in scene (WCF Service, Windows Service, ASP.Net Website) will be sitting on different servers in our office, thus in an Intranet. ASP.Net website will be accessed by users over Internet.

Though, I can always use wsHttpBinding here, will it be suitable to set the service endpoint using netTcpBinding in my case?

You can expose your service over more than one binding if you wish, so you could actually use both.

However, if you control both client and service and they both use WCF, netTcpBinding is much faster. Unless you have a firewall between those two, I would choose that.
