Hope that these documents will help you out understanding about unicode and non-unicode and also in installation. As per my view Unicode is better.

First one is UNICODE (each char is stored on 2 (or more bytes) and thats why it requires more system resources, but it will be easier to upgrade to ERP2005 or newer)

Second one is NON-UNICODE (uses codepages etc.)

If I where you I'd install UNICODE (less trouble in future).
