>  What is the best setting for: CAKE_SESSION_SAVE ?

If there were a correct answer for all the cases, CakePHP developers
(the smartest coders I've seen) wouldn't bother to let us choose.

* database let's you go  distributted easy, but things goes to DB.
* php has the issue of being in a globally accessible directory, so
may create security issues in shared hosts. On the other side their
are simple and works great in my dev machine.
* cake, well they are almost the same as php. But they allow you to
put sessions in a directory where no other user of a shared host
_should_ have access. Any decent shared host (if such a thing exists
:P ) should allow you to separate the app dir from the webroot (the
documment root).

I suggest you to re read the part of the manual dedicated to
installation, especially the section called 'Production setup'.
