What about SSL, is it better/more efficient to allow apache to handle the SSL or to drop apache and allow tomcat to do it all?
Tomcat standalone can do SSL, so you've still got a choice -- the difference being that the SSL performance of Apache is likely to be faster. Does that matter? *ONLY* if Tomcat standalone is not fast enough to meet your performance requirements by itself.
You don't always need "fastest possible" -- sometimes "quickest to set up" is the better top priority.

... snip...
Valid reasons to need it include:
* Tomcat standalone is not fast enough (note that this is different from a rule saying select the "fastest possible" solution -- that turns out not to be a requirement in every scenario).
* You need the extra features that Apache provides (such as integration with existing modules).
* You need to run on port 80 in an environment that requires root for this.
* You already know how to configure it, so there's no extra learning curve.
I would include load-balancing as well (multiple Tomcats, one or more Apaches).
Blindly installing Apache+Tomcat because "that's the thing to do" is a waste of effort in many scenarios.
Agreed.
