I'd choose APC, but only because it's being adopted as part of PHP 6.

There are also some good opinions offered on this question.

Indeed, and I still recommend APC. Memcache has some interesting features - distributed caching but no opcode cache. – David Snabel-Caunt Oct 23 '09 at 15:58
Facebook uses APC very heavily -- so suffice it to say, it's pretty soundly proven in production environments. – Frank Farmer Oct 23 '09 at 19:01

Since this comment, APC has been dropped off PHP, in favor of OPcache, in PHP 5.6. – Yvan Nov 17 '14 at 08:40

I use XCache because it was written by the same person who wrote lighttpd, which was written for SPEED. Works on apache, also.

FWIW I've had great success (reliability-wise and performance-wise) using XCache. I also use it in conjunction with memcache to speed up session operations and cut down on hits to MySQL.
