Apache2 and Lighttpd

Which one should I use? Use lighttpd for static content like .html and apache for dynamic content like php.

Static Contents:
In my testing, lighttpd (1.4.19) can support at least 1.5 times as many connectoins as apache2 (2.2.9) could.

Dynamic Contents:
With php, they are about the same.

Configurations:
I found apache2 easier to configure than lighttpd. Compression support is better with apache2 than lighttpd.
