Depends. On a multi-user server I maintain, where every user has a
~/public_html/ directory, I let apache run PHP scrips with suphp
(www-apache/mod_suphp) so that files are not written with "www-data" or
"apache" permissions, but fully belong to the users, like every other
file they own. This means there's no need for ACLs or any other kind of
permission setup.
