As steven_braham pointed out, every language has a (almost) clear winner framework. I'd use the one in the language you're most comfortable and familiar with. For example, there's no reason to use RoR if you're already familiar with PHP. In that case, just use Larvel.

Probably every major popular framework has good crud support. Most of these frameworks contain a orm that will the heavy lifting.

I don't think anyone has a specific language or platform for crud. Most people pick the one they are most familiar with.

I've heard Laravel is pretty good so going by that the best language would be PHP.

You notice that Laravel isn't in any way unique and basically is a Rails clone?

Sorry, I didn't know that since I have no experience with Ruby or RoR. Anyway since you have experience with both, are you sure it's just a 100% clone in PHP and doesn't bring anything unique?

Why should it? I don't get this "clone" issues.

RoR was excellent idea, everyone copied it and now you can write MVC in language of your preference be it PHP or C#.

RoR would be the easy one to get along with.

PHP. If you don't want to use a framework, just use a WAMP/LAMP stack and you will be fine.

Choose the most popular framework for the language you are comfortable with.

CakePHP (PHP) and Ruby on Rails (Ruby) both has very strong CRUD generator.

Web2py by far. Nothing comes close.
