nginx + mongrel_cluster is a really good solution if you don't need apache OR don't want to / can't install Apache 2.2.
Apache 2.2+mongrel_cluster is great if you need to use Apache, but nginx is lighter and easier to configure (it does less stuff). Stay away from mod_ruby or fastcgi. mod_ruby will run slow. fastcgi is just difficult to scale and tends to be a bit flakey. (On a shared host, it may be your only option though). Grab the beta of "Deploying Rails Applications". http://www.pragprog.com/titles/fr_deploy Most of your questions should be answered there.
