Choosing ASP.NET could be for many valid reasons, because it comes with windows and is not a separate install, because it is FREE, because you already know ASP etc. But because it has a longer lifespan isnt really a good reason. As long as you have a copy of CF or Railo to run your code on, then your app has just as long a life span on cf as it does on ASP. If you use shared hosting then you could equally end up in the same position in the future, unable to find a host that supports older versions of ASP.NETor old versions of ColdFusion, in which case you would still need to update your code regardless.
Using JQUERY is fairly simple in any language, the learning curve will generally be similar, however implementing it will be faster using the framework (ASP, PHP or CF) that you already know.
