I need to create a custom report that is based on several profile fields. It will need to group on one profile field, sort by another two, and then show four more -- for all active users. Should I be looking to do this as a page node or a module? I've been trying to do it as a page node, but have been mostly unsuccessful thus far.

Maybe you can share more specifically how you've been unsuccessful or what problems you've encountered so we can provide ideas to solve those problems.
I'd probably use some of the php snippets related to customising user profiles as a base for doing a mysql select and looping over the result set. The toughest part in that would be if you have enough users that you want to paginate the results...if you want to paginate, a module might be best (unless there is some way to paginate a resultset in a drupal node that I don't know).
