I've been using apt-cacher for over 2 months now, and it serves its
purpose well. I've upgraded it 5 times over this period, so it's not
exactly unmaintained (this should allay your fears over lack of
documentation ;)
Once in a long while it chokes on a package (something about MD5sum
mismatch), just delete it from the cache and it'll be refetched just
fine.
No experience with apt-proxy.
