Super answer.   I lean toward Java/WDSc but will consider PHP.   
 
RPG won't be anywhere in the picture.

.Net will require two or more servers to do something that can be done 
with one.
I won't say "better" to avoid discusion, but certanly one AS/400 alone 
will be more reliable than windows + the AS/400, will be less expensive, 
will be easier to administre, will be faster...

And, if you already know RPG, just use CGIDEV, you only need to learn a 
few functions.
