Thanks Miles. I am sure any of the servers would work fine but each has its strengths, weaknesses and depending on the app and its functionality I figured there would be a better to go with one over another.
The site is still being built so I am testing it on different server builds to test thing out. Currently on nginx fpm-php with APC and Memcache installed. I been testing the pages that would get the most hits repeatedly over and over and its slower than Apache. Im still playing / messing around so just seeing what others use. The plan is 25K+ a day but that’s hoping...reality could be more / less....who knows. My biggest problem is caching the views. Data no problem but views are killing me. I need to come up with some way to save more data in cache / memory. Side note: Is there an output setting for code to be cleaned / properly lined up? My view code is well tabbed / structured yet in the browser view source it’s a complete mess. 5 or 6 empty lines before and after lists. Just weird ugly formatting.

Nginx is fast in general, who ever said it was for static content? I use Nginx with memcache/apc and get a good 10k hits a day with no speed penalty. Want kind of traffic are you expecting where none of these would suffice? Even the largest of sites use apache.
