Hi ,
I' m just a newbie but I like to share my /01 euros :)
If your workstations are going to be used to teach
bionformatics to biology or computer-science students get an hw wich is
as near as possible to that they have . This way you
might encourage them to build their own little
cluster.To me, going for x86 Workstation+ Linux Red Hat + Windows or VMware
could be the best choice for this reason too.  
best wishes
