Apache is best for out-of-the-box servers. Compared to Nginx or IIS, apache really just works. Configuration is mostly obvious, though certain features like reverse proxying are slightly complicated to set up.

 

Nginx is fantastically light and great for proxies and load balancing, and is also a pretty decent web server. Configuration is far more complex as a result; from personal experience I can have Apache up and running PHP in a few seconds, but Nginx frequently requires me to fiddle around some more.

 

IIS, in my opinion, should only be used for ASP.NET websites. Even then, once Mono supports more of the web side of .NET, the point will be moot.
