ASP.Net Web API

Hi Experts,

Is ASP.Net Web API stable and reliable for intensive business use ?
I'm exploring options for a critical business project.

The plan is -
A data service provider will be hosted in IIS which will be developed based on existing production DB objects (tables/Stored Procedures ) etc.

Then client side applications like mobile/web etc. will be consuming data from it.

The data service provider should support authentication and authorization as well .
I'm thinking to choose between WCF or ASP .Net Web API as options.

Which one would you recommend ?

Thanks.

I would suggest a third option--ServiceStack

Sorry, I prefer not buying a third party tool.
I just wold like choose choose a suitable one from Web API and WCF options.

I did some research and found that Web API is suitable as a Front End service provider while WCF is for heavy loaded back end to back end channels.

Among two, I think my situation is a bit more relevant to go with Web API. But, I just would like to ensure that ASP .Net Web API comes with MVC 4 is stable enough for a commercial use. Are there reasons (e.g. security, performance etc.) that I should be worry ?

Thanks.
