The 'secure' discussion is pointless between these two options and in either case the customer (you) isn't at the termination point. Rather your traffic is routed through at least one 3rd party which could be doing evil or be compromised. Security will be limited to ones use of encryption and you will have the same options through either approach.

I agree that each solution will need to be secured and most of the solutions will work for either, but there are some specific differences in the implementation between how to secure each.
However I challenge the notion that "Security will be limited to ones use of encryption". While important, encryption is merely one piece of the puzzle...
(for any techies out there, you will know that security can happen at several layers in the OSI model... and that doesn't even speak to the user SAT piece)
