One of our customers wanted IIS/MSSQL and i did it with FastCGI.
With FastCGI you're able to pick the web server you like most (or not)
and switch it afterwards without touching the application.

``Better'' is what works best for you, not someone else.  And about
potential problems on windows... well, depends on your point of view.
Mine is that it just hurts, regardless of the software... but that's my
personal opinion biased by my favorite unix-like system.
