In terms of practical usability, I'd say no -- at least I wouldn't
know of any. If you search the web for differences between the two SSL
implementations, about the only thing you'll find is a difference in
philosophy: apache-ssl is primarily focusing on stability, while
mod_ssl (or Ralf Engelschall, to be more precise) dares to add new
features as required...
As to the stability of mod_ssl, I can say that we've been using apache
+ mod_ssl in various projects for quite some time now, and we've never
had any problems with stability so far.
Just my 2 cents.
