language choice

[mk]

Hi,
A client of mine is moving towards .net as their common dev platform. They have a mix of components written in VC++ and VB (Visual Studio 6).
Primarily they write com+ based applications, i.e. distributed systems. We intend to almost completely redevelop their existing systems, which have been in place for some time, however a few of the current components will remain in operation for the forseeable future, e.g. security components, mainframe access components, etc.
While my own preference is for them to adopt C# as their primary managed language, I will have to present some valid comparisons between VB.Net and C#.
Does anyone know of any language comparisons available on the web? In particular the strengths and weaknesses of each language.
Also, regarding COM+ v. Remote Components, are there any resources available which detail the pros and cons of distributed systems in .Net with and without COM+.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards.
