Hello, My observations (YMMV):
1. Tiddlyserver is easier to set up because you can just drop some files into a folder, configure a file, and go. 2. The maintenance would be if something goes wrong. Probably about the same 3. TiddlyServer can serve up Individual TW's as well as TW's based on separate tiddler files. So it's definitely better if your main concern is single TW files. 4. Node.js is probably slightly more future safe since it's not dependent on a single individual. Somewhat irrelevant since you could always switch. 5. Performance is probably the same, depending more on whether you serve up single TW files or TW's that are based on multiple tiddlers. Only TiddlyServer (TS) can allow you to view external images and pdfs on relative pathways. Only TS can allow you to have multiple tabs, each with a different TW file, all on the same port number. I was not able to use TiddlyServer for shadow tiddler development in a GIT repository. I had to launch from node.js using special syntax. Summary: TS is better for most people in most cases. Node is necessary for certain kinds of github-related development. I'm not sure I understand the details of your use case.
