I used nginx and lighttpd in the past, but I came across cherokee, which seems to work pretty good. I mainly changed because I realized all these cross-server DoS attacks/techniques that worked with nginx, apache, lighttpd always listed cherokee as an exception.
It also is a tiny bit faster on some occasions (while slower on others).
Somehow people don't seem to like it, because it has a pretty and optional(!) web interface that can be started to get things up and running quickly.
Well, no ad, but I always ask whether anyone knows a real benefit of other web servers. The only benefit I see in nginx is lua scripting, but seriously I would most likely not use that or use it for stuff I don't need to script on my own using cherokee.
