Being on melpa is not a prerequisite for being in Debian, as long as the upstream seems maintained. I don't use apache so I can't really comment on the merits of the two modes. I do notice that the emacs-php one has tags, and is more recently active (2017 vs 2016). So I guess go for that one if you don't find a better way to break the tie. d
