I think this more a matter of personal preference. Do your users have 
any preference? I would ask them what they would like if they had a 
choice. The latest versions of Gnome 3 (3.2) seem to me to be very good 
particularly if you use a dock with it but I like Gnome so I am biased. 
I am not overly fond of other DE's because of my personal tastes rather 
than anything technical including XFCE. My understanding is that XFCE is 
somewhat lighter on computer resources than Gnome with many recent 
computers this is often a moot point.
