Actually the choices are not so clear........ :-)

Java and .Net are both good as are PHP, CGIDEV2/RPG, EGL etc....

Depends on what skillsets your team has and wants to learn to enhance their careers going forward.

A decent JSP site can be written using Tomcat on the i without WAS or too much complexity of setup. Tomcat is pretty much load and go without setup. Can't say that for WAS :-)

The CGIDEV2 tool is excellent. Easy to download, install and get running.

Having tried the Java route, I can say that it is massively complex to get right, and except for super massive web sites that require a full WAS server, in my opinion not worth the effort to learn unless there are other compelling reasons to do so. In my case it was a Masters program where I had a choice of Java or .Net. Clear choice there.
