RIA + LINQ to SQL Vs RIA + Entity Framework

Question

I am going to develop a web site will have 80,000 to 100,000 views per day. there will be less insertion operation and more retrieval operation. so Performance of website is a big issue for me. I wants to work with .NET framework (4.0) and sql server 2005. (will not use silverlight). Please tell me which will be best suitable for me: Should i use RIA services in it. Should i use RIA with LINQ to SQL or with Entity Framework. Should i use WCF services in it. should i go with MVC2 or MVC3.

please suggest best combination like: MVC3 + RIA + LINQ to SQL + JQuery

i know i have asked many questions in single question but really i need experts advice before starting my application.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I think you should go with MVC3 (lots of new features and improvements over MVC2) with EntityFramework 4.1 (you can use Code First which is very simple and straightforward). If you need web services, I think you should use WCF (since RIA Services is really intended for use with Silverlight).
