I've never installed the Server version, I always use the full desktop. And then just check the checkboxes for additional stuff like samba, mysql, etc. I strongly recommend installing the GUI/desktop, at least for initial setup, admin and debugging. It makes life easy. And you don't have to use it later. Disclaimer: I run Debian (Ubuntu's father) on my servers, I don't need all the consumer stuff (video movie players, etc.) and eyecandy that comes with Ubuntu, so Debian is more suited for what I want a server to do.
