Allow choosing between PageCache (Phoenix) and Turpentine (NEXCESS)
The existing Varnish module PageCache has many unsolved issues compared to the highly maintained Turpentine extension. Using Turpentine won't work because it needs custom VCL. It would be great to allow to choose between both solution through Click&Go interface for a better Varnish support.

For new servers (Debian 8), Turpentine is the default cache extension we use. It is installed by default on base Magento deployments. This KB explains how to install it if you overwrite our base deployment:

Given the possible issues, we have decided not to automatically update the old Magento deployments (Debian 7). You can migrate your store to a new Debian 8 server if you want to use turpentine (please check all site functionality before taking it live).
Contact support in case of any doubt/question.

We are currently performing in-depth analysis of PageCache vs Turpentine performance test comparisons. We have even hired a third party to help us with this and preliminary tests suggest that our current stack with PageCache performs better than with Turpentine.
We are further analyzing as it is an important decision.
