The difference in maintaining Pages and Posts via the WP Admin is quite small as far as I can tell. The client is going to have to learn an interface and a set of procedures, so adding a branch to the procedures is not adding a significant amount of complexity.
But if you really needed to simply procedures then I would recommend using Posts since that will give your client the most. As far as I know there are no RSS feeds for Pages which would be a nice feature to have for news and events. Furthermore, it then would not require the client use the WP Admin to update and maintain content. But by only using Posts you might introduce complexity in procedures if you are concerned about enforcing only 1 post in the Categories considered static.
