Good question Shreedar, The decision must be backed by the type of data you want to expose and for whom you are exposing the data.

In general, if you want your service to be consumed by all devices, and platform of applications you should go be BasicHttpBinding or WsHttpBinding.

If you are exposing your service for the local user or intranet application, go for NetTcpBinding that uses tcp protocol.

Above are two most popular bindings used in WCF.

Here are few articles that help you to learn this in more details
