It will depend on several factors. For example, if you already have z/OS but do not have zLinux and management is not interested in pursuing Linux on the mainframe, the it seems the only route is a z/OS install.
If management is open to zLinux, but the application needs to be in production ASAP, z/OS is probably still the way to go. If management is open to zLinux and you got the time and interest and management will support you with resources, then I'ld look _real_ hard at Linux because it's a real Unix-like ASCII environment, great learning experience, and an operating system that can run on just about any platform. So again, it depends on a number of factors at your installation.
