At this point they're both pretty clearly insane. It's just which
barrel of monkeys you want to wrestle with at the time. PHP would be
the default just because of consistency, but there is nothing like BOP
in PHP - nothing like CPAN for that matter.

We use a horrifically skeezy gateway provider called Pay Me Now (a
reseller for Merchant Partners) that we can't switch from for various
reasons. I'm not sure how feature complete the backend is likely to
be, but I'll certainly make it available. The nice thing about BOP is
that there will be no technical reason to stick with the provider long
term.
