Best Windows edition for DC


we designing new large scale windows 2008 forest , trying determine benfits of using enterprise on standard dcs.  there microsoft best practice?  based on edition comparision http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/compare-features.aspx the enhanced features available enterprise not applicable dc role. adfs, certificates, dfs and ias features have been considered.

thanks input,

i'd suggest using x64 bit version (in essence, want able cache entire dit) - @ point, memory benefits of 32-bit based enteprise edition no longer relevant (32-bit version of enterprise gives 64gb vs. 4gb in standard)...
