Hi Utkarsh, There is search base web part also. If you are using SharePoint 2013 then Content Search web part is most suitable. If you are using SharePoint 2010 then Search Result web part can be used. But just curiosity purpose want to know is there any problem with CQWP? Why you dont want to use it. Since it is one of the most useful OOB web part. Regarding your other question, OOB is always better than any other customization including the ECMA script or CSOM or Server Side object model. Because OOB feature perform betters, and in case in future if we need to migrate then it became very easier. Please let me know if more details are requires.
