Will they be small so that you need to go for high intensity, or will they be large so that you can go for high quality (flat profile beam). Your budget will also be a limiting factor both for the source (rotating anode vs. liquid jet) and the detector (image plate vs. CMOS etc). Small molecule crystals also have different requirements than macromolecular samples. You need to figure out in better detail what your needs are - there are quite a few applications.
