If you have hardware handshake, either YModem (1K packets) or YMODEM-G (non-
error-correcting) will work fine, as will ZModem.  ZModem works even with
XON/XOFF.  

Hardware handshake allows you to go a bit faster, however, and it gives you
something to look at while uploading :-) (the lights on the modem blink on
and off)
