i've very less experience with apt-proxy. but AFAIK apt-proxy requires a setup to be made in the structure of the debian tree i.e. something like main contrib non-US non-free ( tell me if i'm wrong). where as reutilizing the packages stored in the archives folder doesnot have any such tree structure.. I'm not sure. I just copy the archives folder as said in my previous mail. I'm just concerned of using the archives folder over NFS with rw permission.
