The only really compelling reason is that you happen to want to use VST 
effects or instruments as plugins in a DSSI host (which today means in 
Rosegarden).

Another practical reason to use dssi-vst is that it's probably less particular 
than jack_fst or vstserver about what versions of Wine it works with, but 
that obviously isn't an issue for you.  It is also possible that some VSTs 
might work in dssi-vst but not in jack_fst or vstserver, and vice versa, just 
because of subtle differences between the hosts, but that's just theory -- 
I'm not aware of any examples.

jack_fst will almost certainly offer lower latencies and better realtime 
performance than either vstserver or dssi-vst.
