I've used nginx for a long time, but for the last few years I've been using Caddy for my projects. So easy to set up, easier configs and automatic tls certificates via letsencrypt
It has also been the first to gain HTTP/3 support. nginx still has some beta-quality branches which must be compiled manually and will be shipped to mainline god knows when. (Yes, HTTP/3 is noticeably faster on crappy high-latency networks, some of us do need that.)
