Just use the tool that you know and that you can deliver with. No need to jump on the bandwagon of the new shiny language/framework/methodology of the week. If you can ship software in php, use it. If you can ship with node + react, use it. Focus on building. And stay away from oDesk, elance, freelancer.com, etc. If you want good technical help, go with gun.io. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, other than being a freelancer on their platform. You will pay more for sure, but you'll end up with something useful rather than a broken pile of hacks.

Exactly my thoughts. If your project gets to a point where the language you've picked for first release is slowing you down you should also be at a point where you're ready to bring in people smarter than yourself to keep it afloat long term. When you're ready you can build v2 in the hot new language of the month or the old tried and tested, but for now that's not your concern. Walk before you run, crawl before you walk. There's no rush.
