Rails, Apache, Thin on Windows. Better configuration for httpd.conf - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm using this configuration with the lines in this good answer (Rails Deployment Environment on Windows):
<VirtualHost *:82>
# Your server's web or IP address goes here.
# You can leave at localhost if deploying to
# company intranet or some such thing.
ServerName localhost
# Customize the next two lines with your app's public directory
DocumentRoot "C:/RubyStack-3.2.5-0/projects/app_name/public"
<Directory "C:/RubyStack-3.2.5-0/projects/app_name/public">
Allow from all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect all non-static requests to Rails server,
# but serve static assets via Apache
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://app_balancers%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]
# Serves dynamic rails assets from multiple servers
# to improve performance. A Rails server such as
# thin or WEBrick must be running on at least one of
# these ports in order for Apache to serve your site
<Proxy balancer://app_balancers>
BalancerMember http://localhost:3001/
BalancerMember http://localhost:3002/
</Proxy>
# Support for far-futures expires header
<LocationMatch "^/assets/.*$">
Header unset ETag
FileETag None
# RFC says only cache for 1 year
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
</LocationMatch>
</VirtualHost>
But browsing, I found other articles and other questions of other people who have configured Apache httpd in a different way, by adding or subtracting configuration lines.
Like here: http://www.varyonic.com/2011/06/using-apache-with-mongrel-or-thin-and-rails-3/#.VK5OhyuG9G6
What is it?:
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /images !
ProxyPass /stylesheets !
ProxyPass /javascripts !
ProxyPass / balancer://thinservers/
ProxyPassReverse / balancer://thinservers/
Now, of course, I'm here to ask you: what is best for Rails 4 on Windows 8.1 / Windows 10?
The server Thin is the best for Windows 8.1/10? Mongrel? Other?
Alternatives to Apache for stability and speed?
The operating system is Windows and I can not change it.
