The only really compelling reason is that you happen to want to use VST effects or instruments as plugins in a DSSI host (which today means in Rosegarden). Another practical reason to use dssi-vst is that it's probably less particular than jack_fst or vstserver about what versions of Wine it works with, but that obviously isn't an issue for you. It is also possible that some VSTs might work in dssi-vst but not in jack_fst or vstserver, and vice versa, just because of subtle differences between the hosts, but that's just theory -- I'm not aware of any examples. jack_fst will almost certainly offer lower latencies and better realtime performance than either vstserver or dssi-vst.
