Which is a better choice on a development box if you primarily develop Asp.Net applications and SSRS reports. I have never had to use the Express editions, so I don't really know the pros or cons.

The cons I have listed for Standard+ editions are:

  1. toll it takes on system resources
  2. pain to attach database for projects
  3. pain to detach unused databases
  4. $$$

Pros:

  1. You have everything you need
  2. Management Studio features
  3. Easy move to production
