I played with ruby and rails briefly, and then decided it was not for me. It felt a bit archaic and it seems like 5-10 years ago it was the best option by far for a web framework, but today things like node and django have caught up. I went with django because I like (and am better at) python. For a new company, pick a scripting language you are most comfortable with (if it's php, pick your next best language). Then pick the most active framework from that pool. You can never get to the end of a rails vs whatever debate so just go ahead and pick a framework you will enjoy working with.
