Encode[Byte] vs Binary VB.net TCP/IP

Hey all, i'm looking to write my first server and client application. I'm looking online and through a couple of books and have come across a couple of ways that it appears people are handling data.

What would be the the fastest and/or most reliable way to transmit strings and floats?

Is binary mostly for media?
