I think the answer probably depends to a large extent on the type of application. MVC4/Razor can work well but the trend, more and more, seems to be towards putting a lot more controller and UI logic on the client and just using something like the WebApi to handle the data. In a high-load situation the latter makes more sense - the more work done on the client the less needs to be done on the server.
Biggest problem with Silverlight is the lack of cross-platform support (and there probably won't be much in the way of new releases) but it can handle some things easily that are still a nightmare with HTML5.
My 2c....
