Well for development purposes, I just recommend using Django's built-in "runserver" command. It will launch a relatively full-featured HTTP Server for testing on your own computer. The command is "python manage.py runserver" and you should be able to access it using localhost:8000
Otherwise, I think the web server of your choice depends upon your needs. I, personally, prefer Nginx and uWSGI but something else may be better for your particular use case. Good luck!
