There is no correct answer. Your choice should be based on current skill
sets. If you have in-house Visual Studio (VB, C++) developers and want to
transpose their skills and wish to only deploy to a MS server platform, you
should seriously consider ASP. (The learning curve for ASP is quite steep.)
If you are not coming from a MS background, you should consider CF. The
learning curve is quite shallow and you can easily be writing 'simple' CF
templates in days. I would also consider CF if you are looking for
multi-platform web server solution (although NT is still probably the best
route here.)
As to ASP being more robust. This is down to your coding techniques/server
set-up more than anything else. One thing that has been said is that CF can
provide a faster delivery, but faster is not always better.
