Of late (~1 year) I've migrated to AWS ALB from Nginx and recommend it if you are on AWS ecosystem.
Being a Layer-7 load balancer, ALB is (almost) feature compatible with Nginx. You can do route based, header based load balancing, terminate SSL and so on.
For an internet facing app my preferred setup now a days is [CloudFront → ALB → application].
