Not really possible to answer as it depends on who is looking at the packets and how much time and processing power they have.

Anyway as a rule of thumb start low and baseline with a transfer across the wire. then start to ramp up the encryption and test again using your baseline method.
Stop when you can't use the line to your users satifaction.


You could augment the security in your model by using PGP encryption to protect you sensitive data: on files being transfered and Email etc.

this is a good article (maybe old but still true)
