I'd pick CF 7.

I would choose Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6, or Windows Server 2003 with
Apache 2.x if you like that better.

Either will do fine.

Out of those two, I'd personally go with SQL Server if it won't cost you
anything. But in either case, I wouldn't want it installed on the same
machine as your web/application server. If you had to put it on the same
machine, I think I'd go with MySQL.
