Using fastcgi with apache isn't rocket science either:
with fastcgi you can run your workers under a given user account, you can
use per vhost php.ini, and so fort, general fastcgi/php rules apply.

for the VC9 build howto see http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Win32VC9Build (I'm
not 100% sure, that it's up-to-date)

some info from the ASF guys on the topic:

William A. Rowe Jr builds the official windows apache binaries, and he is
fine/endorses the apachelounge builds:

btw. Tom Donovan is part of both of the ASF (
http://people.apache.org/list_D.html) and the apacheloung (
http://www.apachelounge.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=233) so I think
that it is as close to the official builds as you can get.
it would be a good thing if the soon coming up apache 2.4 would come with a
greater variety of windows builds, but it seems that it will skip VC9(if
Rowe won't drop the windows builds entirely), so I think the official
windows build would be incompatible with the php project on the short/mid
term.
:(

fortunately I'm fine with the apachelounge builds.
