I am using approx for a at least one year now. I used apt-proxy before. Approx is fast and simple. There is almost no configuration (just add the repository you want to use) and change the sources.list of your host. Concerning speed, i move from apt-proxy which can achieve 1MBps to approx (2-4MBps). I cannot compare with apt-cacher since i have never used it.
