From what I remember of my security training years ago, IPSec was
always better. So I'd likely go with that.

Definitely user, unless you think certificate is better.

Everything if possible. Basically I'm trying to create a
protected Internet connection by using the VPN to allow me to connect to my
vpn server at my home office over an insecure public connection. I would
then use that vpn connection to securely securely surf the web from
anywhere in the US or the world.

I'm not sure which would be best. Can you suggest one based on
the previous answer? Thanks.
