What type of application?
[Quoted] For something "mission-critical", I wouldn't bet much on Reports or Forms.
But then again, that depends very much on your requirements / goals.
Reports Builder is basically for sql-querying+layout development. With Reports Server you can have a multi-tiered multi-server architecture for distributing and running reports.
Forms has more UI creating capabilities, but lacks in some areas. It can't even do multi-selection boxes, which is/should be a very basic component!
Just a few pointers...
