I already responded to this in the C# newsgroup. Here is my response.
Personally, I believe VB is easier, because it's more readable (to me) than
C#.
C# has more brevity.

This question has been asked and answered a dozen times in the C# newsgroup
and in the VB newsgroup.
The languages are very similar, it's mostly a matter of taste. There are a
few things easier in one language than the other. For example, in VB, any
kind of Office programming is easier.
C# people think C# is better. VB people think VB is better.
If you're doing VB6, it will be a little bit less of a culture shock for
your programmers to migrate to VB.Net. (Been there, done that.)
Microsoft isn't going to drop the VB language if that's what you're worried
about. So I don't think it's "more responsible" to choose one over the
other in that regard.
If you want more info, search this newsgroup for "VB" and "C#".

...from a purely technical/benchmarking standpoint looking 10-15 years
out.
The concern being to best preclude/mitigate the situation currently
facing
VB6 migration issues right now. Concern is not with training $, existing
developer knowledge, etc.
If we are given two choices which language to upgrade to, again, from a
purely technical/scalable perspective, is it more responsible to pursue
C#
given it is a standard with both ISO and ECMA?
I would appreciate any input you can provide.
Thank you very much
