Hi I'm using both, because my differents storage have differents features.

about performance, both are equal. (I can get more than 20000 iops with each protocol)


some advantage of iscsi: you can share a lun between 2 vms. (with ocfs2 as cluster fs in your vm for example)

some advantage of nfs: you can use qcow2 file, so use snapshots,rollback,...

I think It really depends your needs.
