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.

Vidovation demos portable wireless network video recorder. The microNVR is ideal for many applications combining on-site edge recording with live wireless relay such as in-vehicle video monitoring, light pole mounted video monitoring, solar powered remote video monitoring stations, camera back video recording and relay, and a pocket-carried video recorder.
We put the HauteSpot microNVR and Global Emergency Resources eWRAP to the test. Driving 700 miles from Meridian, Mississippi to Augusta, Georgia, we put a Mobotix megapixel camera attached to a microNVR and eWRAP in a moving van. The microNVR recorded at full frame rate and resolution all of the video from the camera. It also transcoded and pushed video out over the eWRAP using 3G EvDO wireless. The push architecture remained connected throughout the entire trip including through some relatively remote areas. See as short captured video of this test. 70 miles an hour, 700 miles, 10fps, VGA…
