If your application works with a network, you will be better off using node.js. As Ben pointed out, if you have anything CPU-heavy, you can use node.js and c++ extension, it's easy enough (I remember writing native extensions for perl, and native extensions for node.js is a piece of cake after that you know).
As for Java, it has one and only one advantage: portability. If you're writing a large application and need to support a lot of weird platforms like beos or windows, I think jdk is far more portable than v8. But other than that, I'd avoid that language entirely (unless you really like Scala).
