.NET

I want to write my first REST web service using the .Net framework. I've seen fairly passionate comments from various people about which is best and have even found some differing comments from Microsoft.

My web service should be fairly simple: I want to expose bus timetable information. I figure the resources I will be concerned about are

Fares
Timetables (routes, stops)

What would be the most appropriate (i.e. not necessarily the easiest, most fun or your personal preference) technology to use out of WCF, ADO.NET Data Services or ASP.Net MVC?
