I'll put on my GlassFish fan boy hat for a moment...

GlassFish is not significantly larger than JBoss, afaik, and, as you noted,
comes bundled with NetBeans 6+.  In my (admittedly old and unscientific
tests), GlassFish outperformed JBoss in our brain-dead metrics.  Both are,
of course, heavier than Jetty, but, not having used Jetty in a long time, I
can't comment much on well JSF 1.2 (which you should be using for new JSF
projects) or Facelets (which you *really* should be using for ANY JSF
project) work under Jetty.  Having said all of that, given Jackie's recent
intorduction to JSF, the path of least resistance is probably advisable,
which means the very nicely integrated GlassFish app server.  As luck would
have it, that also gets one the best app server on the market for free. :P
