I need to make a case for developing a map and data server using Open
Source software such as MapServer, Open Layers, PostgereSQL/PostGIS to
counter a proposal to go with ESRI's solutions. The client who this
would be directed to manages a lot of land parcels on which some
development is
i am glad if we can compare with GeoServer also :)

looking at open source
A couple more suggestions:
- make sure to include either tile server or geowebcache in the mix to
minimize hardware costs
- try and cost for a three year window in order to capture the
respective difference in license costs
- where ESRI is already used I normally do not suggest open source as

A few more thoughts after reading your email again...
I don't think an ESRI solution can do much of what you mention out of
the box aside from creating basic ArcMap MXDs and ArcScene SXDs (used
with 3D Analyst) that utilize database connections to ArcSDE. These
only work in a LAN with access
