In my opinion, the best web server for the dev environment is as close as you can reach exactly that web server during production. In some cases, PHP is much less "stand-alone" and then Python, and prevents unpleasant errors and surprises when you push code to a production server. All kinds of chaos can occur when the $ _SERVER array is just that bit that is different from the other, or something works as a (fast) cgi, and not as a module.
