Answer Wiki:
The biggest decision is how many servers and desktops you will be managing. SCE 2007 has a limit of 30 server OSs (today, increasing a little with the newer release) to manage, and I believe it is 500 desktops. If you are planning, or expect to grow above this, then the full System Center Tools (OpsMgr, ConfigMgr, DPM, and VMM as part of the Suite) would be a better solution.
