I would add to your list. Is it well documented? Is it easy to configure? Does it have community support? (more people that use it, more bugs get found and fixed) Can you get other support? Can you find info on it and best practices with it (with books, articles, etc.)? Can you hire someone off the street who can do it? Is it a standard? Does it have XDoclet support?
Do these questions refer to the difference between EJB CMR/P and OR Tools? If so then my biggest issue is the container dependent implementations of J2EE. As I remember Resin was been pretty horrific in regards to many of these questions. Weblogic is WAY better, but costs a lot of $$.
