what's better?

what’s better to give clients an internet connection throw PPPOE or a simple lan configuration (ip,gateway,DNS)?
thank u

I ran across befire’s question about the same time as I ran across this article on FreeBSD-ISP this afternoon. IMHO, it ties well with and expands on befire’s question.

What are the pros and cons of the various ways of deliverying bandwidth to clients?

How does EOIP compare/relate to this (IIRC Niels Sorensen said at MUM in Dallas that he was using NSTREME, EOIP and secure tunnels)?
