network design

I am not trying to be sarcastic, but with the information you supplied this is like writing a report on which car is best for everyone to drive. ..... Look at what the network is going to be used for. How many nodes are going to be used and what arethese nodes? Are all of your nodes in a central location or are they scattered across buildings, towns, states, countries, domains? What level of security is needed? Is there one user per workstation or multiple users per workstation? Is this a small network ( 10 workstations or less )that requires little security? Peer to Peer may work better for you and be more cost effective. There are many questions that need to be answered before you write your report.
