If it's the first time using Nginx, it will seem confusing. With Nginx, there only two files to really work with....the nginx.conf file, and the file associated to the domain. In the domain file, you can search on Nginx's website for a basic Server Block configuration. Practice with that before moving to an advance setup.
 
Surely, Nginx provides static content faster than Apache. I personally love Nginx but I know migrating to it is kinda hard. However, after you know well about it. You can tweak it better.
 
you might want to consider litespeed
easier to move from apache to litespeed as they have built in integration
litespeed claimed serves 6x faster than apache

I use apache as a webserver and nginx as a prpxy/balancer. I would say the best of the two worlds.

This is actually the most perfect setup aside from using litespeed.

Nginx does not have enough modules to work as a independent server for optimal web hosting or multi site server, but apache lacks the optimization and efficiency leaving both together as a perfect environment.
 
Go with Nginx, it's faster than Apache and can handle high traffic easily.
Litespeed is probably not bad, but it's a paid software.

But if Nginx is lighter than Apache, you can have almost the same performances Apache. PHP7 and a caching system will have more impact on your blogs speed
 
If you don't want to mess too much with configurations, you should consider nginx in the front for static content and apache in the backend for handling php. There are many tutorials for implementing this.

The best free option in terms of performance would be nginx + php-fpm but things get far more complex.

Also, if you have large amounts of traffic and looking to save hardware money and get a performance you haven't seen before - go with Litespeed Web Server.

I've been using it on very large website I manage and I never got disappointed from the results :)
 
I remember like 5 years ago trying to switch from apache to nginx was a nightmare, litespeed too, if it isn't broke - don't fix it.

I'm guessing a lot is different now, but I quite enjoyed how easy apache was.
 
It's probably always worth it to learn to use nginx. If you don't care about learning new things, then it is only worth it if your website gets heavy traffic.
