Hi,

Actually depending on your specific requirements the choice can be made. Generally speaking some factors that plays a role in making the decision will be :

1]-The number of users you are going to have
2]-The number of simultaneous connections you are planing to have.
3]-Estimated number of transactions.

You also need to pay attention to headroom for future expansion and future upgrades.

Finally it all depends on your budget !!
