You can build the same quality of web app in any of the above. The question is how much you'll have to fight against the platform's pain points.

Will you be CPU bound? Will you be memory bound? IO bound? Will you need to scale? it what way? What libraries, frameworks, modules etc . . . will you need? Will your app be isomorphic? Where will you host?

And if you don't have many answers just go with what you're most familiar with.

Which would YOU prefer?
Me, I'm a Node.js guy, but that's in part because of my long history with JavaScript. I don't think I've ever been tempted to write anything in Dart, though there are some things I've written that would have been better to be written in GO (for deployment and memory use reasons). It really depends on your constraints, just like any other design decision.

What are your constraints? I suspect they're mostly around the availability of code and availability of learning resources.

I'd just like a fast, easily hackable, versatile(meaning you can do so many things with ease(frameworks)) language to be honest.
