We have started using PHP on NT over Apache, but since our ISP used IIS we switched to it. Anyway, we just started having real problems after our application got really big, so that I cannot really compare Apache x IIS on NT very well (our errors started happening on IIS if I recall correctly). And you are right, CGI version is much more stable: our application has even crashed IIS on our ISP (and thus all other clients websites as well went down...) when running PHP as ISAPI. We asked the ISP to configure PHP as CGI for our virtual host only, did the same test and got an error but all the sites still were running fine, ours as well. I believe you should do some tests over apache, it is really easy to install. And relating to IIS, CGI is definetly more stable. You could anyway consider moving to Linux or UNIX. The developers of PHP seem also to be much more prolific in relation to this world, for obious reasons... But in my opinion, as a commercial product in a production environment I would say that PHP over Windows is definetly not the better choice.
