I was using apt-proxy 3 years ago and it randomly have failures (404 from time to time). It was also quite slow to my mind (considering the fact that it is a proxy). Since then, I use approx (etch version and now backport version). Never had a failure and it is fast (as I expected a proxy to be). Regarding features, maybe apt-proxy is better, but I don't think I will go back to it. Better have something working that something with a lot of features not working.
