I use mod_jk because it gives me greater freedom of configuration and
tends to get updated more often. It is definitely "harder" to
configure, though, since a separate configuration file is usually used.

As I don't use SSL between httpd and Tomcat this isn't much of an
issue for me, but connecting httpd->Tomcat via SSL is trivial with
mod_proxy_http (and not with mod_jk) while forwarding SSL info from
httpd -> Tomcat (while still using an unencrypted channel) is trivial
in mod_jk but more difficult with mod_proxy_http.
