All are valid. I mean when setting up a samba domain with open ldap you should have at least 1 machine that is a PDC and at least 1 machine that has openldap on it. Unless this is a home install I believe you should have at least 2 of each. The choice of how to combine these services is up to the user. For my department (of less than 50 users but 30TB of raid on a 100% gigabit network) I have 3 DCs and 3 openldap servers. At the moment they are PDC + Openldap. Also since I have no user shares on the domain controllers (all data is on dual / quad core domain member servers) I have these as guests under a vps (openvz or lxc).
