I started out on Apache 1.x, and after upgrading to 2.x, I decided I didn't like it.

I don't remember the exact reason, but for some reason, I just became frustrated. Perhaps it was because it was something new, and I hadn't experienced problems with the old version.

Thus, I downgraded back to Apache 1.3 and left it alone.

This is only personal testimony; others may feel strongly in the opposite direction. As long as you keep up-to-date with upgrades/patches to the Apache 1.x series, I don't see why you couldn't keep it. If you're looking for new features that Apache 1.3 can't deliver, then you could hunt around on Apache's Website for new features, a changelog, etc.

In my opinion, there is no reason not to use Apache 2.0.

Unless you have something which only works with Apache 1.3, you should use Apache 2.

Apache 2 contains some new features (but they aren't that useful) - like improved gzip output filtering (although PHP has that built in anyway, so you can use its one instead).

Apache 2 is a lot easier to set up SSL on, because you don't have to patch Apache to have SSL support (it is now built in, a compile-time option).
