The "right" tool for the job depends a lot on the job and its requirements. For me at work, the ability for others to be able to maintain it is an overriding (unstated) requirement, so the answer is always C#.

Should I be made responsible for a project with a tight deadline I'd go with... C# and SQL Server, because, well, that's what I know
Which makes C# and SQL the right tool for such a job -- the time pressure requirement forces you to choose tools you already know how to use.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
