Can't say I have much experience with lighttpd, but if it's easier to
understand for you, then it's a better fit. Given the flexibility of
Apache it can apply in more situations, but it is subsequently harder to
properly optimize and maintain.
Take benchmarks with a grain of salt; if you have an application, and
you're experiencing heavy load, by all means test different web servers.
A generic benchmark isn't going to help that much.
