sftp.  Because the sftp setup I use forces the user to be chroot() into
their ~/WWW directory so they can not modify their ~/.ssh nor any dot
files within ~/.  Removing executing their shell gains you nothing if you
still let them play in the ~/.ssh/ section.

I'm really interested in why you allow users to modify your login files
for your personal account.=)
