Given your numbers given (20 web servers) you can use oracle-xe for
the instance on the local box without much issue. My 80 odd systems
with CentOS Base, Updates, EPEL, Spacewalk and my own custom repos all
in place with full mirrors of upstream take about 2GB of the 4GB
allowance of Oracle-XE.
Work is ongoing to switch to postgres... but that probably won't be
complete for at least 4-6 months if not longer.
At the end of the day it depends on your requirements - if you want to
manage package updates and kickstarts as well or just configuration
files. Spacewalk is better for the former but if just files I'd favor
puppet,
