In my case, the selection of the servlet container has never been a hard requirement. I mean, some customers provide us a virtual machine configured with java/tomcat , others have a tomcat installed and want to share it with solr, others prefer jetty because their sysadmins are used to configure it... At least in the projects I've been working in, the selection of the servlet engine has not been a key factor in the project success.
