Answer
Where possible, you should always use 5GHz first. This means line of sight. If you can make this work you will minimize interference, maximize performance and reduce the number of problems you see.
Then move to 2.4GHz using directional antennas. The more directional the better. This will extend your range, but may be subject to more interference.
Then go to 900MHz. This offers the best non-line of sight performance, but at significantly reduced throughput. Expect your max rate to be 18Mbps under optimal conditions with no interference. Antennas are much larger and more difficult to work with. Interference in urban areas will be an issue.
Best bet is to start with a sight survey and see what you are looking at, then decide band.
