If you are only using the jsp/servlet container I think Tomcat is a good choice: good performance, well documented and plenty of people using it (I think in many cases is the best support).
If you have reasons to get a commercial container you could use a cheaper solution like ServletExec from NewAtlanta, I used it in a project and it worked very well. I don't know much about their support because I tryed mailing lists when I had questions and all was solved this way. If you are planning to use any more services from J2EE stack in the future (EJB, transactions ...), you can try Jonas by Objectweb, a production quality open source J2EE solution with good and free documentation. Changing from Tomcat to it should be easy since Jonas uses Tomcat as servlet/jsp container. One year ago I used JBoss for testing purposes only, in general it was a good experience but buying good documentation for $100 wasn't worth for me (but probably better than paying $$$ for Weblogic). My suggestion is to try Tomcat now and Jonas in the near future if you need more.
