Consider making it a web start application instead. With an applet you
heavily depend on all the different browsers and their Java browser
plugin implementation. This is is a fight better avoided.

Swing. And since Swing builds on top of AWT you will use some AWT
classes here and there in any Swing application.

That depends on what type of Java your user base has installed in its
browsers. Many Microsoft users still have a very old and officially
dead MS Java version installed in their browser, which is good for
nothing. But this is exactly the guessing you want to avoid. Write an
application using a recent (1.5, 1.6) Java version. There you know you
have Swing (actually, you have it since 1.2, not counting the previous
stand-alone version). Provide your application via web start and tell
your users which Java version they need as a minimum. Keep the applet
junk out of the equation.
