The default one, ssh.
Hi!
Another hint:
Get rid of any tramp buffers staying around from previous sessions,
while debugging.
Use
(setq tramp-debug-buffer t)
and see if that reveals any problems in buffers named
*debug tramp/sshx ...
*tramp/sshx ...
or similar.
For the ssh methods I had to specify two -t switches to avoid a
pseudo-terminal not allocated warning.

XEmacs syntax, i.e.:
C-x C-f /[machine.name]:~/ TAB TAB
You're not using that : in the line above, right?
That would not be proper syntax.
etc. Using the Emacs syntax makes efs kick in instead of tramp.

XEmacs does not hang. Here are the contents of the *Backtrace* buffer:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-state "Bogus value for
`default-process-coding-system'" nil)
signal(invalid-state ("Bogus value for
`default-process-coding-system'" nil))
byte-code("..." [buf data kill-buffer signal] 3)
Ah, you should load the .el file instead of the .elc file for a better
*Backtrace*.
Don't know which file it would be in this case, but you could load all
tramp*.el files for debugging.
Good Luck,
Adrian
