>> Go external with scripting languages if you must have them - there is little reason to have them that I can see - they rarely will help a site and stand to hurt it greatly.

Just for the sake of contributing, I've made considerable use of server side scripting. It's not for everyone, but for those who are good at it, adding little useful widgets can be helpful in gaining links if the widgets are a useful tool for giving the customer information that is not product related. It's worked very well for me in getting links to internal pages from an array of sites.
