Tomcat is widely used and well understood, so will likely have better 
support from developers and the community. (Problems and improvements 
will be more likely to be documented.)

We usually recommend Tomcat.

Selection of your servlet container is only one consideration. Have a 
look at the Running in a Production Environment section of the manual:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/production/index.html

Please also see the presentation GeoServer in Production by Andrea 
Aime, from FOSS4G 2009:
http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/#presentation_163

Andrea's examples are for Tomcat, but should also be applicable to other 
containers. I am sure there are production deployments in JBoss.

Kind regards,
Ben.
