How to choose which one is best?
The best option of course would be flash because it looks the best and it creates the most impact. However, some web sites are better done in PHP and regular HTML. The rule of thumb is as follows: if a website is complex and has many user interaction features like forms to be filled, streaming video, changing graphics, database access then its better to do it in PHP / XHTML/ CSS.

- Small gallery sites (photographers, galleries).
- Club websites, restaurant websites, DJ, fashion etc..
- Sites that do not depend on Google for their clients.
