You should use Permissive or disabled...
best is just disabled it.
you will have to be really really good in linux to use selinux with every services....
I hardly see people use selinux , and most of the time you will see linux base software is saying, turn off the selinux ..
example. if you go for Virtual server, selinux will be off straight way..
so dont worry about selinux.. just disable it for time being.

Set it to permissive and make sure everything is running that way it is running. Make sure to check the logs and SELinux messages in Permissive mode that informs about issues. Once all the issues are resolved, set it to enforcing.
Most people in the Linux world don't know how to use SELinux and therefore hate it. It is a very good tool provided that you know how to use it and you can reap the full range of security benefits if you can write your own policies!
If you don't care about this extra layer of security and want to avoid hassle, you may simply disable it.
