I use MySQL alot at my Company and we use the Community version. I have
found that its just as good as the Paid one which by the MySQL website says
the paid one is more stable but I have yet to see any problems.

While the above is true it fails to answer the question, "As
DBA/sysadmin what is the actual difference between the two so I can pick
the right one for my workload." At least that's the question I
interpreted the first post as asking.
Right now the code bases are exactly the same. Going forward it's
not
clear whether I'll be able to compile Mysql Enterprise myself with
support for the Sphinx storage engine which is very fast for full text
searches and a feature I desperately need. Also unclear is if the high
concurrency Innodb thread fixes are going to be implemented in Community
or Enterprise first. Enterprise appears to be the stable branch and will
have changes back ported from Community, but the docs are less than
clear at this point. In any case the issues are a bit more complicated
than where your support comes from at least at the high end. For your
general web-app either would be fine.
