If the clients will only need HTTP or HTTPS then you should use the Web Proxy client. If your clients are Microsoft based and also need to use FTP or Socket connections as well as HTTP/S connection then use the Winsock client. If you have some MACor Unix clients they will need the socks client. The help for Proxy 2.0 that comes with the product is actually very good and can give you a much more detailed explanation of each version of the clients.
