NGINX (pronounced "engine x") has a more robust feature set for dynamic content and is more performant at scale.

There are definitely pros and cons to each solution, and the amount you "feel" the difference between them will largely depend on how complex your site is and what your scaling needs are.

Here's a good side by side comparison from the beginning of this year, if you're trying to decide which solution is right for you.
