Well, for one, ssh + tar doesn't stream the whole filingsystem, it only
sends files that have changed (or are created) more recently than <date of
last backup>.
Granted, rsync is more precise (it will detect files that are created with
an earlier mtime, specifically files you've extracted from archives),
however Im fairly sure that tar+bzip will be more efficient, bandwidth wise.

Why not use ssh+rsync to do your backups? That should save a lot more
bandwidth than streaming the whole filesystem all the time...
