For GIS work you will need PostGIS. I would say the primary reason for using PostgreSQL/PostGIS _is_ for multi-user read/edits and stability. I must confess that as a single computer single user I have never set up PostGIS or converted an existing project to PostGIS, so I don't know how difficult the process is (although from the help files it seems pretty straightforward), but I am sure there are many others on this mailing list who can help if you get stuck.
