First of all, I personally think that there is no perfect archetype, archetypes are only a starting point and this is something important to keep in mind: use them as starting point.
Then, picking one or the other depends on the targeted packaging structure (and don’t forget you can package EJBs in a WAR), what you plan to use, etc.
In your case, you might be interested by the following archetypes (from codehaus):
ear-javaee6(Archetype for creating Java EE 6 EAR)ejb-javaee6(Java EE 6 ejb jar archetype)webapp-javaee6(Java EE 6 web application archetype)Or the following (from the Knappsack project)
jee6-basic(Empty application with just a bean that returns a message to a JSF page)jee6-minimal(Includes a sample page to test JPA, JSF and validation)jee6-sandbox(Comes with a JPA model pre-populated with data so you can experiment in a sandbox environment)jee6-sandbox-demo(A working CRUD application project that shows off features of Java EE 6)jee6-servlet-basic(Empty application that verifies that JSF is configured and can be run with an embedded Tomcat or Jetty instance from the command line)jee6-servlet-minimal(Small application that verifies that JSF, JPA, CDI and validation is working and can be run with an embedded Tomcat or Jetty instance from the command line)Or even the following JBoss archetypes:
jboss-javaee6-webapp(An archetype that generates a starter Java EE 6 webapp project)weld-jsf-jee(Weld archetype for creating a Java EE 6 application using JSF 2.0, CDI 1.0, EJB 3.1 and JPA 2.0 (persistence unit included))weld-jsf-jee-minimal(Weld archetype for creating a minimal Java EE 6 application using JSF 2.0, CDI 1.0 and EJB 3.1 (persistence unit not included))weld-jsf-servlet-minimal(Weld archetype for creating an application using JSF 2.0 and CDI 1.0 for Servlet Containers (Tomcat 6 / Jetty 6))Sorry, but without more details on your requirements, I can’t be more precise. But at least, this will give you an overview.
