    According to my sysadmin, memcached is the better route for caching XenForo as it's more lightweight as it's simple a key value cache and doesn't need any sort of logic/database behind it.

    Since centminmod uses memcached and @eva2000 posted the XenForo default memcached cached data is minimum, I think that's why Xon developed Redis addons for XenForo (Redis Cache By Xon and Redis View Counters).

    Should I choose Redis given the case Xon added more support to it?

    Another advantage to Redis is that it is persistent and the data it is caching will survive reboots. If you are using memcached and reboot your server, that data will be lost and will have to be cached again.
