What would be better in my case - apache, nginx or lighttpd ?

Hey everybody,
I'm writing a php site that's expected to get about 200-300 concurrent users browsing it.
When initializing the application will load about 30 php classes, some 10 maybe 15 images and a couple of css files.
So my question is what else can I do (except optimizing my code and using apc/eaccelerator for php) to get as close as possible to those numbers of concurrent users ?
Currently we haven't chosen a server for the site to be hosted on but most probably it'll be a VPS Dual core + 2 or maybe 4gb ram. Is it possible for such a server to handle that load ? Also how could I test it myself and be sure that it'll be able to handle it ?
Thanks in advance,
Me
