I would say it likely doesn't matter if your cache is on a dedicated
boxes... any of those (or even Squid) will likely be able to fill a
Gigabit pipe with static content assuming they have enough RAM and are
not disk-bound.

If you are already familiar with nginx, I would stick with proxy_cache
(although you might have to do some futzing with cache_key settings
and gzip if your upstreams are doing compression, and watch out for
the If-None-Match bug mentioned elsewhere on this list).
