The difference is in the lifecycle. The jar/war bundle may contain modified resources other than the classpath. So testing the bundle is more closely to realistic testing of the entire application. If I have to test the WAR or whole web application with arquillian + selenius + maven resolver + startup the Tomcat before the tests, then I would use failsafe or invoker. Definitelly i wouldn't prolong the execution of unit tests/surefire with something like starting the Tomcat and testing the UI.
