    • Silverlight applications will work on Mac and eventually on Linux.
    • Your users won’t need to install full .NET framework runtime, instead they will need only smaller Silverlight plugin.
    • Silverlight is subset of WPF, so many features from WPF are simply not available for Silverlight.
    • Microsoft seems to be more dedicated to Silverlight.

    So I would definitely do it in Silverlight. The only good thing about WPF is that it has more features and is more mature.

    Your other options are JavaFX, Flash/Flex and Canvas tag in HTML5
