If I may, which works better? Client or Web Connection?

I am wondering what the difference really is between the two? Both

etc...) had port 3389 blocked for some reason, neither would work
as they both require this port - if they didn't have it blocked,
regular Remote Desktop should work so why would I use the web
client?

Remote Desktop Web Connection loads the Remote Desktop client within a
browser. The Remote Desktop Web Connection is a perfect solution for
connecting to your home or office PC when you can't install the Remote
Desktop client software on a computer.

(Ever tried to connect to your computer without the client on a Windows 9x
machine?)
