I am always running php scripts on a dedicated server as user "webroot".
It would be easier for coding and administration if the scripts were owned by www-data, the apache2 user. Also feels more simple and clean.
There is no ftp on this box and there are no other users or sites.
Why not have the php scripts owned by www-data? If there is anything against it, what is the worst that can happen?
