If time is money and you want easy configuration, spend the $200 on a VPS license for Litespeed. Since it can use the existing .htaccess and httpd.conf from apache, it really does take only 5 minutes to "upgrade" in most situations (and their support is 2nd to none).
But litespeed can get expensive for large installs so I don't blame people looking for free/opensource alternatives. All depends how much time you have and if you are building from scratch vs. upgrading an existing Apache install.
The great thing is, we have so MANY choices today compared to just 5-6 years ago, it's awesome.
