    From a SEO standpoint, I don't think there is much differences.
    You should use the one your more comfortable with

    Doesn't depend on the language. Go for PHP as ASP is deprecated. ASP.NET is the way to go nowadays.

    if you were talking about the ? sign i.e. the dynamic page, simply use mod_rewrite to help with SEO.

    If you are asking in terms of search engine friendly URLs, you can use either off the two and use mod-rewrite to make dynamic URL static and search engine friendly. I don't think php or asp in itself would make any difference in the site's optimization.

    i think PHP is much better to Optimize because PHP can run on Other platforms other than Windows NT. it is Flexible

    Where have you been hiding? :D Windows NT has been dead for years. The older style of ASP (classic ASP) can be run on Linux and Unix servers if they are configured for it. ASP.NET is an entirely different animal that can only run on newer Microsoft servers.

    My vote is also for PHP. Classic ASP has not been updated since 1999. ASP.NET is too complex for most people to learn if they do not have much experience with developing dynamic web sites. PHP is very easy to learn and there is tons of free support through forums.

    I would choose PHP on linux. The reason being I have two similiar sites. One uses asp.net and the other php. The asp.net site takes three times as long to load. Plus asp.net puts alot of unwanted javascript in your pages

    I have a number of sites where I use PHP for all of my menus and internal linking. And they don't perform any worse than the sites where I don't use any PHP code as far as SEO

    html is still the best :)
    I used to have 2 sites; 1 with all html pages, the other with all php pages

    html pages got better traffic from SE's than the php site. Both sites we're in the same market.
    but if you use mod_rewrite i think you'll do just fine.
