One of my hosts runs plain CGI, the other FastCGI. Both work very well.

No. The module will almost always be the fastest, but (Fast)CGI also has
its benefits. It's easier to secure the environment without forcing too
many restrictions onto the user.
If you need as much performance as possible, then get a dedicated or at
least a virtual server and run the server module. But on a shared host I
usually prefer the (Fast)CGI version.
