I'm a PHP dev, so I'm a little biased. But still. Use whatever will get you to a minimum viable product fastest. How you build the application should have little impact on your business. If you can build the PHP app 5 times faster, and you need to execute quickly (say, short runway upcoming?), using RoR (and the 5x longer dev cycle) would be a poor decision. Don't get obsessed about your code. Get obsessed about your product. And the best way to do that is to build a throwaway, quickly, so you can talk to customers with it.
