I normally deliver by Dropbox, but sometimes I use box.com. I make a folder for each project and share the folder. The advantage of box.com is that if you send as a link they are less pushy about trying to get people to sign up with an account, and therefore it is less confusing to the average user. Of course sharing as a link also means that they can forward the link to all their friends and they can download the photos, too.
Another thing to consider is what file size you want to deliver. Full resolution at 95% jpg is really nice, but most people really don’t need that much. Being in real estate photography, my clients only need about 2000px wide, and I use tinyjpg.com to compress them. They even have an option to save directly to your Dropbox. The final files are about half as many MB after compression and very little difference in quality is visible.
As @buddingphotographer said, the ideal is to have a way to deliver from your website. That way you have full control and can add options such as ordering prints, password protecting, pay before downloading, etc.
