I vote for icon fonts! We are using it already in several projects and it works like a charm!
I know agentschap.nl is using it for the new website. Maybe we can re-use those!

Advantage of a web font : you can easily change the color with css! Disadvantage: you can use only 1 color for an icon, or you have to combine several font icons together.

Advantage of svg: a module or subtheme can add or alter icons, (no need to provide another font), advanced css possiblities, no need to compile a font with IcoMoon etc.
Advantage of a webfont: backwards compatible (no need to add a .png version), one single file.

Let's re-use the fonts, see what RVD will do and check if Drupal 8 will ship with a either sprites, svg or fonts (#1963886: Use HiDPI icons in the toolbar). It currently looks like svg.
