- Tomcat 3.x implements HTTP 1.0
  So in some cases you can get trouble, if the clients
  of your server uses some features of HTTP 1.1.
  (For example at least some versions of the acrobat 
   reader plugin for IE use byte rage requests to get
   PDF files, which can lead into trouble)
- Apache has possibly a more robust implementation of
  the HTTProtocol.
- Apache has quite a lot of modules that have (afaik)
  no counterpart in tomcat. (e.g.: mod_rewrite)
- Apache may be faster in serving static files

In the long term I think pure tomcat will be the better
alternative. But for that you have to wait for 4.x.
