Two comments and I am sure others will comment.

If your platform is at all efficient you can get along pretty good with
neither.  I am running Apache on a Mac OS X dual 2.5 Tiger 10.4.5 and I
write all my CGI in Ruby.  Never saw a slow down with using just pain
cgi-bin.

Getting FastCGI working on Apache is a chore.
