Actually Ray is wrong so to speak... It is a known fact and even though in some cases it makes no difference as the speed differences are very slight, but it is personal preference and nothing more. As far as best practice goes, I would be more concerned on how to optimise the server processing if it is needed.
Another thread / post on CF-Talk with some tests, actually shows that depending on the OS one can run slower than the other and vice versa. So if speed an execution is a concern when it matters, use whichever is needed to get that speed increase for your intended platform. Otherwise I would use what is best for your situation.
