Nothing against Ruby except that I, personally, don't know squat about it and don't have time to learn, at the moment. :-) (One of these years... Though Python is on the list before Ruby...)
If you're not hacking on the tool in question, the language it's written in is irrelevant. Sure, sandbox the PHP app for security purposes, but if it fills your needs otherwise, go with it. Unless you're just setting things up as a hobby, getting to B from A is more important--and the users of your apps couldn't care less about what language they're written in.
Disclaimer: I am a more vocal proponent of perl than you are, and my opinions on other tools range from caustic to unprintable. :) But at the end of the day I'd still go with mediawiki or chef/puppet, e.g.
