I didn't find any Mac clients that I liked for either of these approaches...and what I wanted was a really simple way to be able to edit files on my EC2 instance using TextMate...this solution works really well for me to do just that (though there could be much better ways to accomplish this that I just didn't bother to research/figure out).

I use Cyberduck[1] for that; just hit Edit and it opens up the file in your editor, syncs back when you save.

I've used CyberDuck in the past too...of the SFTP options, I liked it the best.

With this mapping option, I can drop down to Terminal app...move to the directory, and then mate * to open a whole project within TextMate (great for searching all files in a project and other little things)...and I can also do other comand line like things, but semi-locally...so just a bit more powerful for my personal use cases is all.
