Be cautious with service modules, most all service modules are not yet
supported within VSS today. So, if you need service module support, I'd
talk to your Cisco SE to understand the timelines of when support will
be available for the service module in question.

VSS is a Win Win solution if you have the money for it.

"VSS increases operational efficiency
1) Single point of management including configuration
2) Single gateway IP address (eliminates Hot Standby Router Protocol
(HSRP)/ Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)/ Gateway Load
Balancing Protocol
(GLBP))
3) Multi-chassis EtherChannel(R) (MEC) creates simplified loop-free
topologies, eliminating the dependency on Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
4) Flexible deployment options in terms of location of the underlying
physical switches as they are connected via standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces."
