You can develop the same apps in all of them, the real difference is the maintainability of the code and what your sever supports.
If you are running a server yourself, then that second doesn't much matter.
Apache is not a development language, it is a server. Right now the major servers out there are Apache, IIS, and Windows Server 2003 (I'm not sure about market shares though). Apache is free to download and install (and, since it is open source, to edit to fit your needs), so I recommend using that. It is easier to use that on a Linux system than on Windows.
PHP works best on Apache and is (fairly) well documented on the web (particularly at http://www.php.net/ but you can find tutorials all over). I haven't used ASP, but the company I work for migrated from that a couple years before I started. Dreamweaver (Cold Fusion I assume) I have had minimal experience with, and don't see anything special about it compared to the other two.

Depends they are different things.
Asp.Net - good for data manipulation, maintaining state in forms and in server side control. Can take the form of Windows development, web forms etc. Visual Studio.Net is a good development platform for it, more complex to learn, but will probably be the standard in a few years.
PHP - this is really an ancillary language - it can be used but you don't have to know it as well as if you were developing a new site, you can use pieces of it (like in conjunction with MYSQL)
Dreamweaver - is good for site development, but doesn't have a robust develpment interface the way Visual Studio.NET does, it's easier to learn though.
.Net
This is a framework technology basically - it can hold other types of pages (e.g. html, ASP, XML,etc.) and it's it's own technology too. It can handle mutliple languages (VB, PERL, C++)
If you are creating simple sites start with Dreamweaver, learn about setting it up and creating it there. Then when you really want to write code and applications, go to Visual Studio.NET. Dreamweaver is much easier to learn. If you already have programming skills, you might be OK with .Net from the outset.

What are you trying to accomplish? Some of the tools you list have different purposes from the other tools. If you are talking application development, I would go with Perl or PHP - widely supported and not too difficult to learn, also they are open source, no proprietary IDE that you need to buy as with .Net. Still it's important to know what you are trying to accomplish.
