I've used them all: Foxweb(oldest since '94), wwc(probably the most comprehensive), Foxisapi, ASP, etc. A lot of what you need is built into VFP 6 SP5 and 7 today. Just a few more things were needed, so, we went ahead with ActiveVFP and added those things and offer it at a very low price.
I would advise you to try the downloads out from each of the various vendors. ASP and ASP.net is our choice since we can use VFP source and still blend in well with all of the current and future Microsoft technologies.
Here's a list I made up for somebody else:

VFP Scripting in web page:
AFP
FoxWeb Version 2
WWC
ActiveVFP Version 2 (with VFP7 ExecScript)

VFP code in Com Servers or VFP .exe's
WWC
ActiveVFP
FoxWeb Version 1

VFP mtdlls called from ASP
WWC
ActiveVFP

VFP mtdlls called from ASP.net
ActiveVFP Version 2

Furthermore, if you plan on distributing VFP web products, you probably don't want to use a VFP scripting engine like with FoxWeb or AFP. FoxWeb and AFP are probably more suitable for corporate web sites in my opinion.
One more bit of advice, stay away from 'file-based' mode in WWC and CGI in FoxWeb. You'll always want to use ISAPI (which includes ASP and ASP.NET) and VFP COM for scalability. I've seen a lot of sites brought to their knees because they were using 'file-based' or CGI web apps. HTH...
