Surely the answer to this will depend to a large extent on the type of application you want to produce ?

If it *can* be web-based and such a solution would also provide a rich enough UI using ASP.NET then go with MVC.

If you want the best rich-client desktop solution go with WPF (not Winforms {d&r in advance}). Of course that could also open to door to a parallel Silverlight implementation for the web.

10c worth (if that)....
