Hi,
You can go kick off your final module using JSP.Definitely JSP is robust 
than ASP.With JSP you will get the following advantages.
 
      Interoperability(Deployment support on almost all web servers).
      Less Learning curve required
      Clear Seperation of your business logic and presentation logic
      by using MVC Architecture
      Tag Libraries for database manipulations or iterations etc..,
      Ease of Maintenance.

I hope this would help you.

Wish you a happy and prosperous new year.

Thanks and Regards,
Ramkumar.
