I need to replicate the data between two servers where one has sql server 2005 and the other sql server 2008 R2. Please suggest me whether to go with log shipping or replication. I am giving more importance to performance. which one of this is more faster?

Thanks,
Sandesh

The Performance and Latency as concern Transational Replication will be a good choice.

If you configure Logshipping , the secondary server can be used for Reporting purpose (Readonly).

Not sure about replication, but you can also do this with Mirroring, so I imagine you can do it with replication in the same way. I'm just guessing here, as my experience with replication is minimal.
