cost?
performance?
ease?
integration?

personal preferences for the types of apps i've been working on:

-- mod_plsql (PL/SQL Web Toolkit)
---- database centric
---- easy to modularize code and application layers
---- included in database license (via HTMLDB)
---- GUI part is standards based (as in not proprietary; DHTML, JavaScript, 

etc.)

-- PHP
---- similar programming techniques to mod_plsql
---- does not require Oracle app server
---- GUI and business logic layers are standards based (as in not 

proprietary)

so, at this point, that's what's best for me, but it might not be best for your environment, including existing skillset of you and your team, existing applications that need to integrate, application scalability, etc,. etc.
