Should I use FIFO's or Message queues ?

[Steinar Overbeck Cook]

I'm currently writing an application which consists of a server and
several clients.

What is the best method to use for IPC ?. Should I use message queues,
shared memory and semaphores or should I use FIFO's ?

The requirements are speed and serialization.

Please E-mail any answers, I will post a summary if there is any
interest for this question.
