Major differences between mod_fastcgi and mod_proxy_fcgi

Major differences between mod_fastcgi and mod_proxy_fcgi

I noticed there are a couple of modules for Apache that provide FastCGI
support. The two most popular seem to be mod_fastcgi and mod_proxy_fcgi.
There seem to be other ones as well.
My questions are:
Which of these module are the most popular?
Which of them are considered obsolete.
The reason I am asking is that I'm writing FastCGI support for a certain
scripting language and I wonder which setups I should primarily test with.
Granted, FastCGI is a standard so, in theory everything should be
portable. On the other hand, there seem to be certain differences
concerning application server start-up, etc. I would also like to write
some "how-to's" once I'm finished, so I would like to know which options
to cover primarily.
Hope this is not an open-ended question.
