Hi,

At the moment the safest way to go is Tomcat + MySQL. If you go with
Tomcat, make sure you set it to use UTF8 encoding, since the default
configuration of Tomcat is not UTF8.
The  standalone jetty+hsqldb is not good in production/large wikis because
it uses an in memory hsqldb database, meaning that all your database is
loaded at startup into your RAM memory.

Regards,
Sorin B.
