For development purpose you may go with App_Data DB(SQL Express). Lot of limitation to this:
1. CPU support is only 1.
2. Performance hit if the number of users increases.
3. Overall negative if you want to host an app like this.

if your model is to develop locally using SQL express, then take the DB from your App_Data folder to a full SQL server instance(I mean attach to SQL Server).
