I can only generalize but I suggest you go with C# because: 1) it's much closer to PHP and Java (especially if you intend to write a web app) 2) it has passed the standards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_ (programming_language). 3) when dealing with technical articles regarding libraries/drivers and such, these are mostly written in C++ to which, it has a close resemblance to C# nevertheless. 4) you can adapt to another C# product from other vendors (such as Borland C#Builder).
