C++ or Java. C# is Micro$haft's rip off of Java, so they will ultimately be alot alike (...) Plus, C# has a HUGE (121mb) sdk you have to download, java does not.
I prefer C++, although you do not have the same web capabilites readily available (doesn't mean they aren't there), it's MUCH better rounded out than java.
