More data than I expected, OpenBSD also preferred jwm for a short time. Source: over 1 year ago
Absolutely yes - I had a very, really old toshiba satellite A50 from 2006 or so, I just can't remember the year, maybe older, but it is really old (it still is somewhere around here, although I've never used it anymore) running debian 32 bits with jwm (I prefer this over openbox or other minimalist DE - this is something where you should take some time trying, to see which it's best for you and for that machine).

Last time I tried Debian on a computer with only 512MB, I ended up with JWM as the window manager. Source: almost 3 years ago
i3 - A dynamic tiling window manager designed for X11, inspired by wmii, and written in C.
Xfce - Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and low on system resources, while still being visually appealing and user friendly.
Openbox - Openbox is a highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support.
LXDE - Why will you like it? Less resource needs. You can use it on your less-pricey embedded board or salvaged computer. Component-based design. Don't want something in LXDE, or you don't want to use LXDE but only part of it?
