Kind of a fan of IIS as well, but usually go with Apache 2 just for consistency's sake as it runs on all the different OS's my servers need to work with, that and I'm just used to the Apache way of doing things versus Nginx.

Originally used Apache/IIS, back in server 2000 I found IIS to be pretty crap, there were also a lot of exploits for it at the time and I played around with apache on red hat 9.

Moved to Apache2.0 on windows and still use it on that actually, might update to Apache2.2 one day.

Using nginx for everything else, smaller and more lightweight than apache and can do some very nifty stuff including caching well.

Nginx and lighttpd tbh.

Both for their performance (and nginx can also be used as a full-fledged webserver instead of a reverse proxy with the serving of static files) and also because they are less likely to kill themselves when they get an incoming slowloris attack or something like that.

Also, to not forget, their modular configuration :)
