Chris, I hope you got enough information to help you decide. It seems this thread has taken on a life of its own and pushed the boundaries of being on topic for the thread. Anyway, if you have any further questions or if anyone can see any pitfalls please advise.
If you still need Apache for some reason and decide to go with JK2, then research it well and ensure you are using current how-to's and files. It can be difficult. I tried it once on an earlier version and was unsuccessful due to missing files. I did not need it at the time and did not have the time to work with it further but there are many who have it up and running. Let us know you decision and why. It will help us to know what kinds of questions to ask of users in the future.
