strcmp() is much faster than apr_strnatcmp() (they perform different
functions; look at the sources to apr_strnatcmp())
strcmp() is more portable than APR (every ANSI/ISO C system has
strcmp()); not every ANSI C system can run APR
Use APR where appropriate, but don't forget strxxx(), memxxx(), etc.
