Well Mod Security is not a firewall like CSF, Mod Security basically protects scripts. I highly recommend using both and then working on your own rule set for mod security

CSF - Server Firewall
Mod Security - Script Protection

To install Mod Security for it to work properly id select it as an option as you re-compile apache web server, CSF is pretty straight forward Along with mod security control you can do through SSH.

Some times CSF can be buggy if its a virtual server i recommend it only on a dedi. But id install Mod Security first through apache upgrade
