The performance should not be very different for that kind of application. Using a socket has the advantage of allowing easy remote administration to your service over standard protocol.
Note that you could also build your administration program into your service and use a browser as administrative tool. Just use THttpServer (Or even HTTPS) and write a web application to manage your service ! Contribute to the SSL Effort.
