Deployment: Choosing a Servlet Container and a Comet Framework

Hi all,

I'm in the final stages of developing business management software for
the company I work for. My project uses GWT 2.0 (might upgrade to
2.1), Hibernate 3.6, MySQL 5.1.46, and Gilead for GWT/Hibernate
Serialization. Now it's time for me to start thinking about
deployment, and I was hoping to solicit some advice on which Servlet
Container to use. I don't have any experience with setting up and
configuring a servlet container. Also I will not be using App Engine.
Their website and this app will reside on GoDaddy's servers.

I'm under a time crunch, but I'm also still considering replacing some
client/server polling with a Comet (Server/Push) framework. Any advice
on which framework to use would be most appreciated. Debating between:

1. gwteventservice
2. gwt-comet
3. gwt-comet-streamhub
4. rocket-gwt

Lastly this is probably a very stupid question, but is there a way to
package my app up along with the servlet container from GWT's embedded
Jetty Server, and just host that container rather than go through the
process of setting up and configuring a container like Tomcat? I'm
guessing there are a number of reasons why, even if I could, I
wouldn't want to do this...

All in all, whichever container is the quickest and easiest to setup
and configure for a beginner is going to be my choice. Any thoughts?
