Hi, I am looking to do some local development of php on Windows XP, and would like (educated) opinions on what the best Apache/PHP/Mysql package is. Some examples of these packages are:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/
http://easyphp.org/
http://www.appservnetwork.com/

There may be many I am missing. This is just a quick summary of the ones I found after doing a Yahoo search.

I am looking for more than just a link. I want to hear from someone who has either tried multiple packages or has in depth knowledge about multiple packages. What are the pros and cons of each one? What is your personal preference? Some considerations are:
- How often is the package updated?
- installation ease and reliability
- being able to easily switch versions of PHP 4/5
- extra/useful packages included

Thank you in advance!
