Thanks

Depends which language your key developer(s) masters.
If you have experince in Visual Basic, I would prefer VB.NET, in any other case I would use C#. Except if you have senior C++ programmers or other diverse programmers, then I would allow any combination of VB, C++ and C# (and other languages, too).
Many C programmers will be more productive with C#, I think, even if it means they need to learn something new.
Entry-level programmers should in my opinion be forced to use C#, but that is kind of personal and not thought through. Mainly because it is a modern language made with .NET in mind.
The code generated is pretty much the same. More important is the leverage of samples and reuse of existing code. Don't take my word for it, download reflector (google reflector), and analyze "hello world"-webservices in C# and VB.NET.
Please reply with what you do and why, maybe I can learn something.
