I have been using Dynamo Application Server for over 6 months now and it is
quite a nice app server for a programmer with not much app server
experience. Although it is quite restricted when it comes to development.
You have to restart the app server with every change of a class file except
jsp of course. Orion on the other hand does not require this which will save
development time hugely. Also licensing issues are a pain in the butt. We
had problems with development licenses with Dynamo, Orion is absolutely no
problem.
Orion is an excellent server although does fall down with documentation.
This list is one of the best sources of information and most answers can be
found here. I have found that with Dynamo some small bugs exist with servlet
specifications and work arounds are required. (In other words, don't expect
a new release of Dynamo for these bugs as they won't happent). Orion on the
other hand will release updates frequently and are usually quite up to date
with the latest specs.
I have not had much experience with Weblogic.
My recommendation would be to look at Orion in more detail and see how well
it suits your needs. You will find it initially harder to use but you will
understand the application server that much better.
