Which one is better: CROSS LOADER or FTP

Hi Folks,

I have to send 12 million rows from Z/OS system to another Z/OS Host.
It is a monthly job and on and average the data would be 12M.
I'm wondering whether to FTP the data file or asking them to use the cross loader. They are okay with both the options. Now the option is left to me. I was thinking in terms of cost effective. I have no idea about the FTP concept. Do you guys agree that CROSS loader would be better..?
Instead of Unload,FTP and the LOAD. Please let me know your thoughts.

I would go for Cross Loader ... This reduces the number of potential points of failure
