Since all editions of Oracle are free for evaluation purposes, and if you have sufficient disk space, I would suggest installing the Enterprise edition so you can get used to features such as partitioning, block-level media recovery, multi-channel RMAN backups, tablespace point-in-time recovery, parallelism, streams, etc.
As long as you're using this just for single-user testing/learrning purposes the license is free for the database; the client license has always been free. I would ensure that only you can get to your database server through your network; the following document can help you:
