Hello,
Can anyone advise out of JBOSS and Tomcat server’s, which is best for production launch of Geoserver WebGIS Application in terms of reliability, scalability, load balancing etc?

Tomcat is widely used and well understood, so will likely have better support from developers and the community. (Problems and improvements will be more likely to be documented.)
We usually recommend Tomcat.
Selection of your servlet container is only one consideration. Have a look at the Running "in a Production Environment" section of the manual:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/production/index.html
Please also see the presentation "GeoServer in Production" by Andrea Aime, from FOSS4G 2009:

Andrea's examples are for Tomcat, but should also be applicable to other containers. I am sure there are production deployments in JBoss.
Kind regards,
Ben.
