The advantage of the tcp approach is that you can put a loadbalancer
(e.g. pythondirector or pound) between your apache and your zope,
giving you fail-over and load balancing.

In theory you could write a load balancer that worked on a unix domain
socket and read fastcgi requests, but I'm not aware of any that are
already out there for this.
