Use TCP over UDP when:
* You want the guaranteed delivery of your data
* You want your data to arrive in order to the destination
* You need all of the data to arrive intact
* You want to automatically make a best estimate use of the network throughput

Use UDP over TCP when:

* You don't need guaranteed delivery of data
* You can accept out of order delivery of data
* Late data is worse than loss of data
* You want to implement your own error correction
