The use of a class to control Apache is more flexible - it allows you to
encapsulate any common Apache logic into it's own module that your other
classes don't need to worry about.
If you use virtual resources for example and you introduce Debian/Ubuntu
operating systems, you have to go to all your modules that reference
Package[httpd] and introduce logic that installs the Debian equivalent.
On the flip side if you do this in a class, you only have to handle it
in one place.
Using a class for Apache also gives you a place to put common
configuration - maybe in a few months you want every single Apache, no
matter where it is or who runs it, to have mod_status enabled.

But which is better? Is it just a matter of personal preference?
What advantages one gains?
What does need more resources, performance-wise?
