 2 of our webserver hosting companies told us that if we want to have files own 
 by some other user account than apache, it is needed to have fastCGI..if not, 
 than we need suPHP or suExec. 
fire the company if they said this really in this way

CGI is needed instead mod_php to have own processes which is
the base for suPHP and suExec but that has *nothing* to do with
your problem above on your local test-setup which would be solved
with the right permissions / ACL's

...
 However it has been told that FastCGI provide also a performance 
 increase so, we would like to reach it also :) 
ok, fire them really

it is impossible that the webserver speaking via CGI/FCGI with a standalone PHP
binary is faster than having PHP inside the httpd process and this sounds like
a typical "webserver hosting company" knowing zero to nothing
