Gartner just released a pretty good analysis of the front runners if you have access to that sort of thing. It had the sort of comparison charts you are looking for. What sort of application are you developing? Different application servers have different strengths. Several companies have good scalability numbers, a few have very complete implementations (JMS being one of the things that is often lacking). As for easy to use and maintainable, I've found that use of a third party tool for skeleton generation, persistence management, and deployment is a life saver. Some IDE's have this sort of thing built in (i.e. VAJ and WebSphere Studio). Otherwise there are third parties like Inline Software.
