I have done it both ways and it works with mode tunnel or mode transport when you do IPSec with GRE tunnels. I understand that it is particularly appropriate to do more transport when doing IPSec with GRE tunnels. This saves a little overhead and reduces the need for 1 additional IP header when doing mode transport for IPSec with GRE tunnel.
