For now, I would choose drb, because it's "standard" and part of the 
distribution.

However, I was talking to Paul Brannan this weekend at RubyConf about 
this.  My question to him was on the feasibility of replacing some portion 
of druby with romp (i.e. the actual communication layer).  Romp is quite a 
bit faster than druby, and now that druby is included with Ruby,  there's 
no reason to lament the fact that Romp is implemented in C.

Paul said this is probably possible.  Once the new RCR process is setup, I 
plan to submit one with this suggestion.
