What is the scenario to make wsHttpBinding an alternative for netTcpBinding

We use netTcpBinding in an asp.net webforms intranet application.

On the client machines we have activeX (winforms) running which retrieves its data via wcf.

The activeX container is inside the asp.net application.

What advantage/benefit do we have from using wsHttpBinding over netTcpBinding?

The primary benefit of using wsHttpBinding would be that you could embed your WCF server within IIS, and then use IIS to encrypt the transmission between the client and server. It also allows you to avoid firewall issues and use port 80 for the communications with the server.
