The choice of going to SSL-CERT auth puts a huge burden on your IT staff.
You've got to collect all of your client's certs, and manage them (including
renewals, revocations, et. al.).  Except for small closed-groups, it is
almost always not worth the trouble.

Which headaches you want really depend on your configuration.  The methods
are different if you are using Apache/IIS/iPlanet in front of Tomcat, or if
you are using Tomcat-Stand-Alone.
