The choice between BES and BPS is dependent on your requirements. We got BPS for free, but the Verizon rep who got us the deal told us (or strongly implied - I wasn't part of the acquisition team) that we were getting BES. That makes me more than a little cranky. I don't know if that was slipperiness on the part of the individual rep, or if that is a Verizon thing. Regardless, it kinda sucked. Be careful when talking with your provider to specify exactly what you're getting.
If you search the BB web site, you'll find a comparison between the two in chart form. It's useful. If it were me, I'd go with BES over BPS.
