A simple rule of thumb that I use is:

If you have one machine and medium to large traffic loads, go APC
If you have more machines for caching servers (dedicated) and large to
holy mofo loads, then go MemcacheD

This ALL assumes that you have followed a logical scalability plan and
have separate DB servers, app servers and possibly even using a CDN or
something beforehand.
