For Windows, I'm not sure I'd use either. I'm currently trying to learn both VBScript and Perl, because they are commonly available at most corporate IT environments.
But I've been a Winbatch scripter for years. I find Winbatch to be much more robust than VBScript, it does cost (but it doesn't cost much), it does have to be installed (though I hardly find that to be a big deal), it has support for third party development of add-on modules, and it doesn't necessarily require an interpretive environment like VBScript does (because you can compile your Winbatch scripts into freely-distributable stand-alone executables).
