I use an alias for my most common options with rsync.  Then I use that
alias for all remote copy operations.  Sometimes when I'm copying just
one file that happens to be very large (like a .iso file), the process
display of rsync is helpful to let me know how far the progress has
gone at any given moment.

The only good reason to use scp instead of rsync I can think of is
that rsync will generally not overwrite a newer file with an older one
- I rather like that, and I can override that any number of ways if
need be.
