Mirroring vs. Log-Shipping and Clustering (to connect two datacentres)

Hi All,
Could you give an idea about the following design requirement:
Right now we are planning to connect two data-centre (WEST & EAST).
Everthing will be build from scratch.
Both data-centres are running a 2-node single instance sql 2005 A/P cluster.
The instances host critical reporting data (emergency).
The WEST must provide/transfer his data to the East.
A minor delay in the EAST is acceptable. Which technology would you recommend to transfer data from the WEST to EAST?

a) Log-Shipping (I think the problem is that the target is in a recovery mode and not accessable for users, but there should be snaphsot mode for Read-Only)I also heard that Log-shipping will be not supported anymore in future releases.

b) Database-mirroring (What will happen, if the Principal fails in the main datacentre?)

Thanks for ideas

Hi
I hope this artical will help you to understand mirroring
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/dbmirror.mspx
There are three different modes in Mirroring1) High Availability
2) High Protection3) High Performance (Only for Enterprise Edition)
Look options for all 3 modes and try to apply best one suit for your requirement
Thanks
