I have one word of advice: DON'T USE AIX! I am in the middle of a (forced) migration from Solaris to AIX and it sucks ball peen hammers.
The Solaris installs were running like a top for over a year. In another incarnation, I have Tomcat running for 4 years with nary an issue (just some issues with OOM errors when the DB started hanging on bad SQL).
