HAProxy also does all this stuff too (more or less). I plan on using HAProxy if NGINX doesn't support everything I need done.
I have a preference to use as few software packages as possible so I keep the system as simple and maintainable as possible. Being able to eliminate HAProxy would be a plus for me. I already need NGINX to handle basic web serving, so I think I just need a few new features in the load balancing area to go without HAProxy.
