You're mixing levels here.  ZODB is an object database; Zope is for content
manager and application development, built on top of that object database.
Twisted is a framework for writing network services; Quixote is a framework
for writing HTTP/web applications, and can be hosted on top of Medusa or
Twisted.  (See the March archive of the quixote-users list for some example
code to run Quixote applications on top of Twisted.)

So the choices are more like:
   ZODB or SQL
   Apache or AOLserver or Twisted or Medusa 
   Quixote or Zope or Webware or ...
   
Zope provides content management features that Quixote and Webware don't.
You could write a content manager in Quixote or Webware, but no one has done
so yet, as far as I know.
