The first thing I would do for something like this (taking the pragmatic 
approach), is design your information schema. You need to design (not 
code) your schema such that it provides the kind of analysis you are 
after with the least amount of work. It also needs to be flexible in the 
sense that you will inevitably want to start storing new kinds of 
information, and analysing the data you have in new ways. The data is, 
after all, the basis and purpose of your application.

Whatever you decide to do it in, and I am guessing you will end up with 
a conventional relational and hopefully free database, you can assume 
that it will be comprised of tables. Tables will contain fields. The 
tables and their fields will represent some encapsulation of an entity. 
The tables, and the fields therein, will have relationships with other 
tables and their fields which will provide you with the basis for your 
analysis and reporting.

If you are looking to roll your sleeves up and actually get started, do 
so at the data end. In that scope the collection, presentation, and 
reporting layers are largely irrelevant, that is to say; your data store 
shouldn't really care what is accessing it. Avoid the IDE and framework 
religious wars, don't bother with logos and About Us pages. Dive into 
your data store schema with a pencil and a notepad today. Anybody here 
who has used a database of some kind (and there appear to be plenty), 
will be able to help you turn your sketch into a real implementable 
schema. Of course, you will inevitably have to wade through ever more 
esoteric hooha about the specifics of that implementation ;]

Pretty much I'm saying that I'm not a rocket scientist, and if I wanted 
to build a rocket, I would intuitively start with determining how I 
would power it.
