- Doing anything "appy" and need to get something working out the door fast, for browsers and mobile devices? --> Go full stack with meteor. The raw productivity is unmatched.
- Want to do a more traditional "website" or some web services or something with networks or messaging? --> Use Elixir/Phoenix. Blazing fast, quite productive, fault tolerant and reliable.
- Just a default CRUD website like it's 2006? With all the building blocks already available? --> Rails. Excellent learning resources available and should have plenty of RoR developers available for hire.

For the frontend site, go with react, ember, angular (or meteor's blaze), all of them are good choices and may suit different needs and developer preferences. A well designed frontend layer is completely replaceable anyway.
