I'd suggest using whichever best matches your application requirements. As far as Struts goes, we're going to leave the templates library there (no reason to remove something that some people are using). Tiles is going to be a first class citizen in Struts 1.1. From what I gather, regions should also work fine in Struts apps, but I haven't looked at it in any great amount of detail.
