Personally I'd council against ASP, because Microsoft have moved on and its
successor ASP.NET is much better. Perhaps that's what you meant.

The choice between PHP and ASP.NET probably comes down to the platform.
ASP.NET ties you into Windows/IIS hosting which is more expensive than Linux
hosting. (I know mono promises the possibility of ASP.NET on Apache/Linux,
but how many hosting companies support it?) PHP can be used on virtually any
web server.
