I will say all things are relative.  I imagine that setting up VNC 
(tightVNC preferred) will be nearly 100 times faster than setting up X 
services on windows and thusly support and maintenance will be 
proportional.

Furthermore, I think depending on the application it is quite feasible 
that VNC will be actually better performing.

I would suggest (my opinion only) setting up VNC (as its much easier) and 
testing the application.  If its too slow or eating too much bandwidth 
than it might be worth investigating other options.
