Secure Shell vs. Telnet

SSH.
Why?
In a telnet session all communications, including username and password, are transmitted in plain-text.
SSH uses a very strong cryptography mechanism to shield the connection from possible hijackers & eavesdroppers.

Which do you prefer for a virtual server in terms of functionality: Secure Shell (SSH) or Telnet?
