Well I tried both, and as my websites do not have a very high traffic (I have approximately a total of 50 GB per month) the speed is not primarily a concern to me, I am looking to the security side of the problem and Apache+mod_jk does its job better than only Tomcat concerning security.
I have stress tested Apache+Tomcat and only Tomcat and it seems like %30 is too high. I can suggest using mod_jk 1.2.10 with Tomcat 5.5.9, surprisingly you get very similar results. Mod_jk > 1.2.10 had some performance problems but I did not thoroughly test why. I hope this may help a little.
