Your questions suggests you're confused about what is what.
Seam is a framework for building web applications in Java.
JBoss AS is a Java EE application server.
Tomcat is a Java servlet container.
You can run Seam on either JBoss or Tomcat.
Since JBoss is a full EE app. server, you get certain features like Enterprise Java Beans out of the box with JBoss.
With Tomcat, you don't, but this isn't usually a big concern since, for example, Spring framework can replace Java EE if you need that functionality.
It does matter what you use, since the majority of your system will be probably coded in the back end (server side Java).
If you want the minimum amount of hassle when using Seam, I'd suggest using JBoss since that company made Seam.
