This is a follow-up for #28596. I think the suggestion to use Type=exec uses too strong wording: Type=exec has non-trivial drawbacks over Type=simple, and they deserve to be mentioned. Hence drop the <emphasis> and turn this around so that Type=exec is *recommended*, but Type=simple is not expressly discouraged, because there are plenty reasons to use it. Add a brief discussion where Type=simple might be preferable. Also, fix the outright unruth that Type=exec was the "simplest and fastest", because it certainly is a lot, but not that.
