What method do you use for static URLs?

[Mysticated]

(A dynamic URL is one that contains parameters. Static ones look like this: www.a.com/users/bob instead of www.a.com/?user=bob)

 

At the moment I am using mod_rewrite. I also know about using the PHP method of parsing the PATH_INFO http var.

 

Do you use a method that is different from these two? I haven't coded in about two years and want to know if this has changed, as I see most sites going the static URL route now.

 

Would mod_rewrite or the PHP method be better for sites which get high traffic (such as a forum)?
