Thanks for your thoughts,
I think it's going to boil down to: how well do the people who will operate and maintain Tomcat get along with each environment? I go with Linux because throughout a long association with Windows I found it frequently getting in my way, embodying invalid assumptions, and generally resistant to being used in the way I want to operate a host.
