When in Rome...

If on Windows, I'd say go with IIS, especially if you have someone familiar
with it.  And, if you'll be interacting with MSSQL/etc, then I'd recommend
as well - the Web Platform Installer works well, aside from a couple of
gotchas (which at some point I'll document).

My issue was that I was so used to Apache.  After working through some
things, IIS has proved stable and useful.

Another idiom:  don't put all your eggs in one basket.
