I would choose CGI because it is so widely available, basically on
every web server. If the CGI version is popular, then one could think
about other solutions afterwards. Due to CGI's wide availability and
it's pre-existence on most web servers, many people will have the
chance to try the application out.

I haven't used Zope, but the documentation already said that it wasn't
simple to install.
I looked at WebDAV and that seems interesting, especially given the
fact that even M$ is readily supporting it, or at least providing help
to the developers.
In any case, my vote goes to a widely supported and easy to setup
platform base for the initial web version. Specialisation with it's
possible speed and feature advantages later.
Thanks,
