What is the difference between using an init() method as opposed to a static block in a servlet? They both are called once when the servlet is loaded.

Big difference.
The static block is executed when the class is loaded. The init method is called by the container once important structures like the servlet context and the servlet config have been created and are available for the init() method to peruse.
