Funny, I've been doing the low level stuff for nearly a decade and recently released a product that uses NSNetService with Bonjour.

I'm not sure what trouble you're seeing, but my experience suggests the devil is in the details regardless of what level API you choose. TCP Networking is complex. The higher level API's are a easier in my opinion because you don't have to deal with threading.
Apple uses CFNetwork in Safari, so I would start there if you need a more industrial strength API.
Finally, if you can describe what you are trying to do and what sorts of problems you are seeing, someone on the list might be able to help.
