Some windows servers run both but most will only run asp. Asp will run faster than php on windows because it was coded by microsoft. However, this does not mean php is bad. I pretty much like php and personally think its better than asp. Its totally up to you. If you go with php though make sure its on a linux or unix operating system / server. Php was designed to run well on them. I also think that more people know php here so if you ever needed help then there is most likely to be someone to help you. I don't think many people here know asp.
You will also find that mssql is usually only on windows servers. mysql is usually found on unix and linux but can run on windows too. As for a script to manage your site you may want to consider using phpnuke. Their site is http://www.phpnuke.org . I hope that helps. This is my opinion and other people here may have other opinions.
