Of dynamically generated pages, php is definitely the best.

Respectfully disagree. The file extension (and the server-side language used) doesn't matter to the engines, as far as I've seen.

As far as SE friendly carts, roll your own. It's not too terribly difficult if SE spider friendliness is a design goal. Just make it a priority in your plan, and stick to it. Your pages will come out better anyways for it, and you'll get cool stuff such as dynamic link titling and alt text built in from the database.

If you can't, find someone who can, and spend the money. It's a good investment to roll your own cart, IMHO.
