Answer 1

Yii is probably the truest 'framework' of all the options - it provides the scaffolding you need with almost no assumptions about how you would prefer to implement anything (except perhaps the inclusion of jQuery). It is incredibly fast to develop with, and very very fast to execute which translates to excellent scalability.

Projects I have used Yii for have always ended up well ahead of schedule - Yii just seems to make sense in the way it works. My experience with Symfony is limited, I will admit, but compared to Zend Yii is a breeze. The Gii MVC generator is a fantastic head start too, generating models and basic CRUD code from your database tables.

ALl this is just my opinion from my own experience, but that is what you asked for :)
