Neither, from your description you want ncsa_auth. It should be included
as well I hope, if not lets ask Guido to include it.

The mswin_* helpers is for authenticating to the Windows user services.
Which may be the local accounts on your XP if you like.. The three
mswin_* helpers is one per authentication scheme (see the auth_param
directive).
