Depends on what you are trying to do:

If you need multi-user then SQL Express (SqlCE is single user only)
The same for stored procedures and a few other bits 'n' bobs.

However, if you need a small, simple single user SQL database that needs no installation other than that needed for any .NET application, then SqlCE is a good bet.

Always give them the option of installing it, don't try to install it yourself. They may already have SQL server installed on the network and prefer to use that.
