I have not used either of the WOlastic images, and they may well be very 
reliable, but they do look a little old.  (I think they're both dated July 
2009.)  I assume they pre-date EBS-based AMIs, too, as they're both S3-based.  
Again, they may be brilliant, I've just never used them.

It's not too hard to roll your own.  Simon McLean offers a public AMI 
(ami-de91bbaa) based on Amazon Linux in the eu-west-1 zone, and he's published 
a script that will bootstrap an application server from scratch:

It depends on your needs.  A standard m1.small instance gives you 1.7G of RAM, 
so you can certainly run the appserver, webserver and database all on the same 
host if you want to start small.
