Selenium rocks (and provides a really lightweight way to get started through the Selenium IDE. iMacros is somewhat limited in my experience. JMeter fits a different need to Selenium. It's about load testing. I'd say start with Selenium and bring JMeter in at a sensible time. Note, there is additional benefits of using Selenium IDE scripts instead of coded tests (such scripts can be used to generate standard unit tests). a) it's really simple for non-technical people to build useful scripts b) set it to playback a bunch of scripts and run a screen recorder at the same time and you have auto-updating screencasts of major pieces of functionality. c) require a Selenium script to demonstrate each new UI feature and you can create a screencast (or set of stills) for that new feature (handy for release notes).
