I think the benefit of installing the Developer Edition would be that you'd be able to use the Client Tools -- such as Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer. I know people that have bought just the Developer Edition for legal use of those tools.
The Developer Edition includes all of the functionality of the Enterprise Edition, but you cannot use it for production. If you are going to be developing mobile applications needing SQL Server CE, owning the Developer Edition gives you the rgiht to redistribute SQL Server CE.
This white paper explains the differences between the editions and should help you to make an informed choice:Choosing an Edition of SQL Server 2000.
