What it all boils down to for 90% of situations, is how well you can
configure your system. I have seen, tests showing apache being god, I have
seen tests showing iis being god. The real trick is configuring the system
to meet your needs. It wont make a difference if one is faster, if you can't
configure the system correctly.
So the most important aspect to to stay with the web server you are good at,
since both web servers are acceptable solutions.
I acually use both apache and IIS, and think they are both awesome tools.
And while I have 3 years of experience in IIS I now perfer to use apache,
just becuase it nice being able to use the same web server on different
platforms.
