I use BadBlue <http://www.badblue.com/> . It's not too bad for casual use
and it's certainly affordable. My specific application is to do local
development on my WinXP box for deployment to my Linux (Debian) server.
I realize Apache is cheaper (I use the $60 BadBlue Enterprise Edition),
but I need a quick and easy to use tool that doesn't require me to
fiddle much with it.

OTOH, it does have some quirks that are mildly annoying and I'd
certainly be open to alternatives.
