I suggest that you involve all the participants in a search for the 
"right" answer, which they will, by definition, arrive at.

It's almost never going to be the program or environment or online tool 
that /you/ are most comfortable with, but it /will/ be the one that your 
users have bought into, and therefore the one they will use. Over time, 
as the tradeoffs of non-optimal first-pass choices become obvious, 
you'll be able to guide the group toward more robust and more easily 
maintained solutions, but if you start out by _dictating_ a course of 
action, it won't work.

FWIW. YMMV.
