Ask HN: I've Got a Project, You Tell Me The Language

So this summer I want to begin development work on a new web project, but I am having trouble deciding on a language to implement my ideas. Maybe it doesn't matter, I don't know. I thought I'd tell you what I want to do, what I'm good at, and YOU tell me how my time will be best spent.

Project Idea: Create a web-based recruiting tool for our graduate department to keep track of interested/prospective students.

What I'm really good at: Matlab! What I'm ok at: PHP, C#/.Net (And I love visual web developer!) What I'm not good at, but interested in learning: Python

I currently have shared hosting (LAMP), but I wouldn't be opposed to buying another plan for C#/.Net if that would be the best way.

Any ideas?
