I hope these help you to assess your choices.

On one of the early Henselminutes podcasts there was an interview with creators of Facebook (I think). And the main idea I took from them was: if your web project will have any kind of success then the only thing that will matter is how easy it will be for you to add more web servers and to scale you database. That's it.

So, I'd concentrate on the overall design of the system you're building to ensure it will scale and don't pick a language because of its performance characteristics.

Well it all depends on the website you are going to develop. Facebook is developed using php and all microsoft sites are in .net. So its up to you to decide which one is better for you.

Apache with php is cheaper for you than iis and .net . ASP.net development can be faster than php.

Number of users depend on the band width and your server and not on the programming languages.

If you can explain what exactly are you trying to develop then we will be able to explain more.
