Use rsync's compression.
Is it a wasteful performance hit to have both ssh and rsync do compression

Yes.
If so, is there a clear

If so, is there a clear prefference which is more efficient, rsync or ssh?
Yes.
Why, if they both use zlib?
Moreover compressing at a higher level always seems a good

Any actual reason not to do that?
rsync can use what I refer to in pysync as context compression. This
is where the matching data is compressed even though the matching
compressed data is not transmitted (because the other end already has
it). This primes the compressor
