It depends on your environment. If you already have the Windows infrastructure then .NET can be a good choice as the namespace collection is quite extensive and logically easy to understand. It also does a lot for you. Things like web services is a piece of cake to do. And when I developed in .NET I never once used the visual aspect of Visual Studio as it only screwed things up for me. I could of coded C#.NET in notepad if I wanted.
In saying that I enjoy PHP. PHP is very forgiving, easy to work with, and it is cross-platform.
Cheers
