The one you are the most proficient in.
For the most part programming languages are the "same" in that they are a means to an end. Yes you can argue about their attributes but they are tools. If one guy can dig a hole with a pick as fast and as good as another guy can dig a hole with a shovel then to each his own.
All that the language vs. language discussion can really turn into is an argument about programming minutia between a bunch of folks coming from a thousand different unique standpoints. I honestly have never seen it lead to anything productive - pick a context or business need and maybe it'll turn into something useful.
