Go for Ethernet and the TCP/IP stack. You'll have problems

I don't understand this statement. What about USB is
not transparent?

USB is complex, but if you need its features (e.g. dynamic

(e.g. isochronous and interrupt pipes) then USB has
some nice features. Notice I didn't say it was simple ;-)
