Samba3 performs excellend nowadays. You should have no trouble at all 
serving 20 workers. In my setup (7.1-release/amd64/dual x2 3800 amd 
cpu/gigabit) smb generates only 3-5% cpu load when reading at 50MB/sec.

I would also recommend running swat (zee /etc/inetd.conf), it can really 
help creating a nice and tailored smb.conf file for you via a webinterface.

I believe that samba3 can even give you Active Directory features and 
Roaming Profiles, but I haven't looked into that. Samba as fileserver is 
enough for me.
