Both of which are well worth considering. There was a UserVoice suggestion for Microsoft to support PowerShell as an alternative to MSBuild in Visual Studio [1] but it was declined, which was a disappointment. Personally up to now I've used Python for my build scripts given the choice, but more recently I've been using Grunt/Node.js, and I think that's likely to be my go-to tool going forward. Its ability to watch a bunch of files and run targets when any of them change (e.g. Less/CoffeeScript) is one particular thing that's got me hooked.
