Frankly I'd urge you to use another user for scripts. Do not let your
server side scripting languages run as www-data, but let them run as
their own user.

If you have several virtual hosts that's required, otherwise a script
vulnerability in one vhost causes security implications to the remaining
hosts, because an attacker can access that data.
