If I had months, I'd choose Rust. I'm excited to play around with it and would love to help move it toward web-friendliness.
If I had weeks, I'd choose React (server + browser with a single code base) in TypeScript with SCSS.
If I had days, I'd choose React (via slingshot boilerplate) in JavaScript with SCSS. The only reason I'd ever start a React project without TypeScript is that the fantastic react-slingshot boilerplate doesn't have TypeScript support and ESLint + WebStorm is decent for type-checking.
