All of these technologies work in a similar way. I like to think AVFP is the latest and fastest VFP web solution since you're using vfp mtdlls instead of backend .EXE vfp servers(an older vfp web solution). VFP mtdlls are the same technology that vfp Web Services use, so, learning AVFP helps to understand this technology and vice versa. It's also easier to install since the ASP.NEt or asp.dll is already installed normally and just the vfp mtdll has to be registered(all of this is automated in AVFP). The included WebAppBuilder creates a basic vfp web app in 1 step and runs it. (This can be added to the startup menu in VFP9, BTW)
Support is thru the ActiveVFP forum here on the UT.
Of course the biggest benefit is that you can use VFP for your web development instead of starting from scratch in another language or using a lesser language like VBScript. And I've got to think that for dealing with VFP data, the VFP language is the absolute best choice...

>>Well, ActiveVFP is free and Open Source. Using ActiveVFP, you can call a VFP mtdll from ASP.NET(or ASp) so that it appears to the outside world to be an ASP.NET web app. The big benefit of this is you actually use VFP for your web application logic, meaning you don't have to write/re-write in C# or VB.NET ...
