I'm partial to Nginx for a couple of very specific reasons:
The single biggest disadvantage IMO is how Nginx handles modules. You essentially have to rebuild the whole thing to build another module, versus Apache making it somewhat easier to build an out-of-tree module.
I used to use Apache for WordPress and Laravel projects. These days I'm mostly using nginx as a reverse proxy and load balance for sysops tasks. I like them both.
