Which one do you recommend?
You know that Citrix will run on top of RDS.  What you could do with Citrix is publish applications, Citrix policies for mapping, etc.

What I would do is install Citrix on a Win2K8 RD Server.  I would perform following tests:

1. Test ICA vs. RDP and see if you see any difference
2. Try Citrix policies for items such as printer mappings, etc.

Depending on the Citrix edition/version, you could try items such as Application Isolation, Resource Manager, deployment features, etc.
