The best (pest?) language is the one you know best. They're all equally good, if you know how to make them work right. Btw, ASP.Net is not a language, its a technology or framework, you can use plenty of languages to program in ASP.Net. You know COBOL...go ahead and do it in COBOL .

hmmmm....SQL 7 Desktop Edition, isn't that the same as MSDE? You are restricted to a maximum of 5 concurrent connections in that case.

How much money did DrKoop.com lose ?

Owais is almost right, the best language is usually the one that you and your team are more proficient in. However, my understanding is that the SQL Server drivers for PHP are pretty broken, so it might not be the best combination.

Also, support for ASP is on it's way out, so if you don't know it already you might want to consider .NET.

Which is only an issue if you wanted to use Unicode
