I have to agree with Franck. I am using webservices for an app I am working on and they are doing just fine. I dont notice any performace speed issues with them. Seeing as I am a long time cf developer, I would have to say use CF. Not because it is my flavor of choice, but because of the speed of development and the cross platform functionality that it provides.
