    Yes, VBA is significantly faster with Office Automation.

    I don't see any advantages of C# or C++ when it comes to Office Automation. You could use either.

    However, if it is managed C++ vs C# I would recommend C# because it is the most efficient of the managed programming languages.

    As stated above VBA would be the best choice here. It's the language built into the Office environ for this exact purpose- office automation.
