Jetty's fine for serving static content. It's not going to be materially slower than Apache.
I would remove Apache from the mix all together. It adds nothing other than nice logging. I use Nginx because it's lighter weight and does a lot better with a lot of open HTTP requests (think Comet). So, I'd opt for #1. By the time you're serving up enough pages to push the limits of SliceHost, you're probably serving 60+ pages/second and might have a real business.
