Language is mostly a concern that newbies have. Experienced developers will often say it doesn't matter much, so just use whatever suits you.
There's all sorts of tools/libraries out there that can assist with scraping, or you may decide to roll everything on your own. Every developer will have their own preferences, so find what works for you.
A big part of this would depend on what you're aiming to get out of the experience. If it's just for personal education, you might want to take an approach that's more conducive to learning what you want to know. On the other hand, if you're more interested in completing a project, you might focus less on learning and more on getting the project done.
If you're aiming for a private site, it removes a lot of concerns you need to have with a "real" (public) site, simplifying things greatly.
