Well, I can't tell you about a range of servers, but I can tell you that I've always deployed my webapps on Tomcat and it's never let me down.
I work for a company that deals with average to high volumes of transactional data each day (several hundred thousand transactions), all of which are processed with a web service served by Tomcat. We also host Java-powered business intelligence websites for each client on Tomcat which are quite heavily trafficked (most merchants run reports several times a day and around 2-3 thousand merchants).
It's always been robust in my experience and plays nicely with Apache, which is a plus for web devs who want to serve Java web apps and also retain the modularity of Apache. When I was at uni, y professors thought highly enough of it to hinge several web programming courses on it. And it's free. 
We run it on a couple of clustered HP dl380 servers, 64GB RAM with 8 cores each.

Tomcat is the only one I've worked with as well, and it worked nicely, though I can't really speak for it in production environments - we just used it for local testing, and I left before they tried to deploy it for anything bigger. I would imagine that, with it being actively developed and pretty heavily used in the industry, it probably handles itself well under load, but yeah, might wanna try the mailing list or documentation to get your specific questions answered.
