What tools are best for measuring web-services performance?
It would be nice to get report for total transferred data, total POSTs, requests per second, time per request, transfer rate and response time per request.

ab is a tool for benchmarking your Apache Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to give you an impression of how your current Apache installation performs. This especially shows you how many requests per second your Apache installation is capable of serving.
Load testing is used to determine how an application performs based on a certain volume of users. Generally, load tests will increase the volume of requests in the duration of the tests, but load tests can be used to gather performance data from any given load, small or large.
Not quite for web services, but a very simple command line tool is distributed with Apache to benchmark HTTP performance, it is called ApacheBench and can be found in the bin directory as ab.exe

I have used jmeter in the past. Check it out.
