I have used all three and like apple talk the best.
The first time I used netatalk on SuSE 7.1 it worked flawlessly without me setting up anything. SMB takes a fair bit of configurating.
I upgraded the box and broke netatalk, never had time to fix it.
NFS is a pain to set up and SMB is not a very High-Availability network protocol, IMO.
In short, I don't see any good reason to use anything besides Apple Talk.

Because OX X 10.1's implementation of SMB is pitiful. It's worse then smb:// browsing in Konqueror.
The connect to box does not browse the network at all, you have to feed it the full URL to a share: smb://servername/sharename

You can't. You just have to give it a URL - see above.
