Lejos is somewhere in the middle.
Whether that is fast enough depends on your project,
if it needs reaction times in the 100ms range no problem,
at 10-20ms it gets really tough (sensors are read every 3ms).
It also has has a clock with 1ms precision if you're after that.
Over NQC (or other LEGO firmware based) it also has
the advantage of Java being a full programming language.
Over LegOS the advantage is that it is easier to debug IMHO.
