SPICE does look pretty efficient network wise. Although I think it is currently pretty tied to kvm/qemu, but I'm not sure.

It is tied to qemu (not really to kvm, although we don't run it on anything else), but should be possible to make run without qemu - although it would require some changes to the design (right now it is built on the trio guest-host-client, if you remove the host the structure changes a little). bandwidth efficiency wise it should be the same.
