WAS Express/Base vs. Tomcat

As I sit here and wait 5 more minutes for a WAS Express server to
startup (which has just three small apps installed, and I have already
been waiting 5 minutes) I am asking myself if I should instead go the
Tomcat route (which I have used before for less mission critical apps).
I guess one of the main points I would need to address would be how well
IBM supports their ASF Tomcat servers.

What are others doing out there? If our requirements do not entail
anything outside the functionality of Tomcat (no EJB's for instance)
should we just head down that path instead of incurring the bulky-ness
of the WAS Express (or WAS Base) servers?

Thanks in advance for your opinions,
Aaron Bartell
