The scoop on remote hosts...which method?

Latest Versions of Nagios and plugins
Nagios running on solaris
Approx 300 remotes hosts running a mix of solaris and linux located all
over the US.
I spent the last couple days getting Nagios up and adding localhost services
along with remote port services. Now I need to do some remote services,
after-all how useful would it be without it.
>From my reading, there are 2 major options. Of course the FAQ doesn't
contain any opinions. From what I gather it stands like this:
Check_by_ssh: Active service from the the Nagios server. Used with SSH
keys, rather than password. The services executables, check_disk,
check_load etc need to reside on the remote host. Anything else
significant?
NRPE: all service executables need to reside on remote, there is a daemon
running on the remote and each remote host needs some config of the
inetd.conf
To me the obvious choice is check_by_ssh. However, pleased correct or add
to my synopsis of the options. I would love to be pointed to more
documentation, sites, blogs etc... on the above two topics preferably
dealing with install/config. I need make a decision on my method and have
it implemented in only a few days.
Thanks
