We are an Oracle VAR and have found that, unless you are doing very large scale systems, Workgroup Server is your best bet. Enterprise Servcer will give you the distributed and parallel options along with a couple of utilities. But unless your customers already have an Oracle DBA on site (ours do not) you will never use these features anyway.

On the small scale, if you are going to do single-user, stand alone systems, you could get by with Personal Oracle. But I would stay away from Lite as it does not have any PL/SQL support.
