What is the fastest Wordpress setup for 5$ per month plan on condition that I'm using Cloudflare as my CDN? I'm thinking about Nginx + Varnish after reading some reviews on the net. But I'm not experienced, so I'm not sure... Please, advise, which configuration to choose for the fastest Wordpress setup on DigitalOcean?

Go to rtcamp.com, look for easy engine (It's a script). Wordpress optimized with nginx, w3 total cache, mysql and the whole deal.
PERFECT.

Most probably Nginx, PHP-FPM, Zend opcache, Varnish.

If imageheavy use cdn for image-delivery. But don't use cloudflare because serving already cached content from varnish is faster. Cloudflare ensure availability during traffic spikes.

IMHO, it's How To Install Wordpress, Nginx, PHP, and Varnish on Ubuntu 12.04; with W3 Total Cache.

Varnish is an HTTP accelerator and a useful tool for speeding up a server, especially during a times when there is high traffic to a site. It works by redirecting visitors to static pages whenever possible and only drawing on the server itself if there is a need for an active process. This tutorial covers installing wordpress on a LEMP stack (with nginx instead of apache), and then installing varnish.

Yes I agree with angelica.costa. I tried EasyEngine (https://github.com/rtCamp/easyengine) and it work fine for me.
