It does not matter what you choose. Choose the technology that you are most
comfortable with. However, it is better to avoid propereitary and closed
platforms like asp.net. Also it is not fair to compare drupal and rails.
Drupal is a cms system while rails is a framework. If you want to learn a
new technology while building the app, choose rails. It will help you
tremendously with newer projects.
