I would suggest the most likely purchase for you as being Standard Edition. If your web server is an external web server then the only sensible option for you is an Universal Power Unit license (since you cannot determine how many seperate users will access the database). In addition I'd be quite tempted not to go for the unlimited license,but the time limited one, since when you replace your hardware you'll have to upgrade the license anyway.

If the web server is an intranet server the named user license may work out cheaper. You can do the math at the Oracle.com web store.
