SCO UNIX or Open Desktop, what's the difference?

I need to set up UNIX on a PC. It has to be from SCO for political
reasons. What confuses me is that I am offered either:
UNIX
UNIX Dev.Sys.
NFS
TCP/IP
VP/ix
Xsight
Or:
Open Desktop
Open Desktop Server Upgrade
Open Desktop Dev.Sys.
The machine will be used for software development only, in a single
user 'workstation' type setup, but set up both as a NFS server and client.
Compilers, shell, utilities, written and online documentation and network
software are areas of importance to me. X and databases less so.
Getting a product that is maintained is also important. The time it
took for Open Desktop to move to 3.2v2 scares me, as does the apparent
non-development of Xsight.
Does it really matter what I get?
Pros and cons for either configuration is most welcome.
