I use standard edition, the reason to use enterprise is high load of data, even if there are ten users. If you are going to have tables about 10,000,000 records, standard is OK, but if you are going to query permamently tables about 100,000,000 or more then you could think in enterprise, it has features advanced to optimized high data loads. Now if the price is almost the same for you (if you can affor ten licenses in enterterprise edition) I would suggest to use that, becaues you will have several features enabled, like partitioning, security, etc.. There is a paper at Oracle comparing features. The configuration is enough, but all depends in the amount of data you will use.
