It depends a lot on your environment.
LVS is usually simpler than to install and maintain than a smaller Squid
infront of a farm of Squids only for loadbalancing. But a Squid can be
somewhat smarter as it can make decisions based on requested domain and/or
ICP allowing for a higher hit ratio in the cache cluster.
LVS is also significanly less resource hungry than Squid, so even a small
LVS server can handle significant amount of load. But you only run into
this if you need to build a cache cluster of 4 or more Squid caches. (a
non-caching Squid can handle significantly higher loads than caching
Squids)
