How to ask a "Recommended design / tool for the job" question correctly, and where?

I have an architecture question, which involves both best practices and design patterns part, as well as "best tool for the job" part. As far as I know the first part, if written correctly, is a valid Programmers.SE question, where as the latter, again, if thoughtfully crafted, may be a good Stackoverflow question.

So here is my question

  1. Where such a question should be asked? Is there any stack exchange site that fits it best?
  2. Should I divide the question between the sites (to the "architecture" part, and the "tools" part)
  3. Are there any good examples of a similar class of questions that are considered good?

I couldn't find the answer I'm looking for in this related question: Which site should I use for my question? And where do I find this info? - Stack Exchange's Site Directory
