If I were writing a big web-app I'd probably use either golang, or Perl.
I'm not a fan of PHP, I've never used any of the python frameworks, and while I can use Ruby on Rails it would usually not be my first choice - not unless I was building a simple CRUD application.
Perl gives me the amazing CGI::Application framework, a lot of libraries for integrations, and a standard approach to writing tests.
Golang is the new-hot, it's good for writing servers and services, also has a testing-centric development approach, good support for templates and a simpler deployment approach than most dynamic languages.
Still, my preferences tell you little except what I can/will use. The answer is usually to always pick the framework/think you're most familiar with OR the thing that you want to learn next.
