I use both:

ftp://gremlin.people.openwall.com/pub/linux/Owl/SRPMS/httpd-2.2.25-g1.src.rpm
(with fully-rewritten SUexec capable of running PHP scripts via CGI)

ftp://gremlin.people.openwall.com/pub/linux/Owl/SRPMS/nginx-1.4.2-g1.src.rpm
(frontend for the above, not thoroughly checked yet)

Given the deficite of IPv4 addresses, I run Nginx at the OpenVZ host as a
frontend for the httpd instances running in separate containers.

ftp://gremlin.people.openwall.com/pub/linux/Owl/SRPMS/mysql-5.1.70-g1.src.rpm
(there's 5.6.13, but it still isn't ready for first-time installation, only
for updates)

ftp://gremlin.people.openwall.com/pub/linux/Owl/SRPMS/postgresql-8.3.5-g1.src.rpm
(no version 9 yet, but that's on my agenda)

ftp://gremlin.people.openwall.com/pub/linux/Owl/SRPMS/rsync-3.0.9-g1.src.rpm
(I'm quite happy with it, as it allows quick migration of OpenVZ containers
to other hosts)

And, of course, /usr/bin/tar :-)

For generic LAMP server, I use the abovementioned packages together with
ftp://gremlin.people.openwall.com/pub/linux/Owl/SRPMS/php-5.3.21-g2.src.rpm
(slightly patched for running via suexec)
