Really?

You have over a century, perhaps 2 centuries of security experience among the
experts who monitor httpd commits, and that is only the core developers who 
aren't
out to profit over httpd's flaws to become blips on the httpd radar.  Hundreds 
of
researchers are watching httpd commits for the opportunity to say 'gotcha', and
hundreds more for the opportunity to quietly exploit a vulnerability.

It will be nice once the tomcat project grows to such proactive oversight.

All that said, neither is 'better'; the advantage of running httpd in front of
a tomcat server is that one is likely to avert an exploit in the other, due to 
the
fact that you have two sets of parsers in place, each rejecting bogus requests, 
so
the chances of a defect in one server showing up are significantly minimized.
