So far I've only tried Hunchentoot and heard about AllegroServe, ABCLweb, though I wouldn't know how they compare in performance. I was wondering, what is currently the best option for deploying a Common Lisp web app in a production environment?

There is a pretty decent listing at CLiki of web-related Common Lisp software.
Scanning the list, here's the web servers they have listed (links go to the CLiki description page) which seem to be reasonably complete servers:
There are a couple of other options which are self-described as minimal or experimental, or implemented in CLISP rather than Common Lisp.
I am not a Lisp programmer, so I can't speak to the effectiveness of any of them, but from gathering this information, Hunchentoot seems to be the most popular currently.

CL-HTTP is a full-featured HTTP server with a history that goes back to the early days of the web. Here is a CL-HTTP primer.
