Should I use MPM prefork or MPM event in apache?

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with apache/2.4.18. I need to know which MPM module should I use whether MPM_prefork (which is default in my case) or MPM_event (which is a newly built module). It must be noted that we are dealing with huge traffic on webserver with configuration of 16-GB RAM and 8-cores CPU.

See this article for a good overview of the 3 main MPMs.

My suggestion would be to consider going with Event MPM as it should be better at dealing with high loads.
