LAMP IMHO is better than IIS in the long run but takes much more time to set up and code

can't stand IIS. the worst http server I've ever seen
all my servers, even windows, that have to run webservices, have apache

both. depends on the needs of the specific setup
OCSreports that I use at work uses XAMPP, but the bugzilla that's running in my workstation is set up with apacha/php/mysql installed separately
