I wouldn't call myself a guru with IIS, but I happen to know a lot about it. In my experience with IIS and PHP, the bigger the script the more IIS seems to sag. Apache runs better and is more stable I think than IIS. The thing about editing a conf file for the configuration is no big deal. If your setting this up, its not so much different that you couldn't learn it in a short amount of time. Plus there are a few GUI front ends for editing the conf file in windows.
The other thing is, I seem to have less problems on Apache than IIS. The isapi dll for php in IIS isn't very stable and often time craps out for no reasons. Apache may have some issues, but they will be far less than what you'll experience in IIS. I'm a windows person, but recently started learning Redhat. You'll find a big performance difference if you can run php on a Linux OS. I've got several scripts that I have a time function that measures how fast the page is created. Its pretty much a night and day difference as far as performance is concerned. Just my 2 cents...
