Snmpv3 as the agent hooked up to nagios as the manager. I would not use any of the nagios agents. Snmpv3 has a number of levels of security (traditionally snmp was not secure): you can encrypt the data and authenticate between manager and agent if you need high security If you don't need a graphic manager (like nagios), you could use snmp command line tools to query or receive unsolicited information from agents.
