Since the scripting all stays on the server, the issue of portability is not
an issue unless you can find a platform that supports ASP pages, but not the
default scripting language of VB script.

Unless you have a good reason not to use VBScript, I would stick with it.
Most of the examples you will find will be with VBScript.

P.S. You could always use other scripting languages, not just IIS4.
