Now that's a very open question (no pun intended...well maybe a
little). It depends on several things, functionality, your budget,
time frame, skill set etc

If you intend to sell your work afterwards, bear in mind that you can,
but your code should also be made freely available. Thats the nature
of open source. But I'm sure you know this.

On the other hand, why reinvent the wheel when you don't have to? If
there are open source projects available that already meet most of
your needs and will be suitable with a little tweeking, then OS can
save a lot of time and money.There is also a lot of OS code available
on the PEAR http://pear.php.net website that can be useful.

Good luck.
