You SHOULD seriously consider mp2. There's 2 platforms on mp2: Apache 2.0 and Apache 2.2 If you're on Windows I'd suggest 2.0 (I seem to have some issues on restarting Apache2.2 with mp2 on).Yes I did also consider using mp2.But when I searched on this list and found many guys mentioned they install/run mp2 unsucessfully,so I picked the easy way of mp1.:-)
Apache2 + mp2 is fine basically. Everything you need works and works well. Go fo it.
