While picking a stack is certainly something important when looking for a webdev job, it isn't the most important for you as an overall developer. Don't go into it from the perspective of "Which stack should I learn?", but rather "What are the programming skills I can learn that I can apply across multiple stacks?".
If the skills you pick up are too focused on one stack, it makes it much harder to transition to a new one when that stack inevitably falls out of vogue. Study up on paradigms, not frameworks; e.g. OOP, Functional Programming, MVC, good coding style (code readability and maintainability are EXCEEDINGLY important), etc...
Once you have a solid platform to stand on, you will find that you can transition these concepts from framework to framework, and only have to focus on the syntax changes and a little bit of under the hood stuff.
