How secure is Apache? Are there any known holes or bugs that say a hacker could get into? What are the major downfalls of it?

There are (obviously) no known security problems with the current release. An Apache module, mod_rewrite, had a minor security hole recently but that was fixed in the 1.3.14 release.
Apache is used by millions of webservers (~60% of the entire Internet). It should certainly be good enough for you.
Apache is basically secure. What kind of security do you need? The security of server-side code (e.g. CGI scripts) is far more likely to be a problem than the security of the httpd itself.
