<%@ include ... is the include directive, and it requests the inclusion at
servlet compile time.

<% jsp:include ... does the inclusion at page request time.

In practice if the thing you're wanting to include will always be the same,
use the first version - it's quicker. If the include can change (e.g. you've
got some news docs in there somewhere) then the second version is better as
it avoids the need for recompilation.
