Well it depends on your needs. I am partial to:
http://www.djangoproject.com for web stuff but I also hear really good
things about Turbogears. Both of these are Python based which has
excellent cross platform capabilities (including Win32).
In general Ruby on Rails *feels* like more a vehicle with 600 HP just to
drive 10 miles to work. Why?
Also in terms of Delphi... I would actually pick Python over Delphi at
this point. I like Delphi and have actually written a couple of
articles on Kylix (Delphi for Linux) but IMHO the time for closed
languages is over.
Use a language that is OSS and actively developed. Python, Ruby or if
you must Perl or Java ;)

On the second question, I also like to have the database do as much of
the work as possible.
