    It depends on what your needs are.

    For client, I would recommend the full install package (AV, PTP, NTP)

    For servers, you can have two options Full or Basic

    Full is same as the client (AV, PTP, NTP)

    Basic contains only AV and this will give you the best performance if your server requires it.

    Hello,

    When you deploy the client using the Client Deployment Wizard, you must choose the feature set. The feature set includes multiple protection components that are installed on the client. You can select a default feature set or select individual components. Decide which feature set to install based on the role of the computers, and the level of security or performance that the computers need.

    List below tells more on Client installation feature sets lists the protection technologies you should install on client computers based on their role.

    Laptop, Desktops & Workstations - Full Protection - Includes all protection technologies. Appropriate for laptops, workstations, and desktops. Includes the full Download Protection and mail protocol protection.

    Servers - Full Protection - Includes all protection technologies except mail protocol protection. Appropriate for any servers that require maximum network security.

    Servers - Basic Protection - Includes Virus and Spyware Protection and Download Protection. Appropriate for any servers that require maximum network performance.
