Solaris 11 isn't baked. It's more or less OpenSolaris...
So.. if you want EASY to deploy Sol 8/9/10 zones (for example), your ONLY supportable solution is Solaris 10. AFAIK, the ability to host different OS level zones in Solaris 11 Express isn't quite there yet (doable, but sometimes with issues).
So.. Solaris 10 + monkey zones = solution.. I don't think there will be any problem doing what you are wanting to do.
LDOMs.. well.. that's a bigger question. Useful if you truly need partitioning vs. the flexibility of just doing zones. Modern LDOM (beware of dependencies to implement it) have better resource mgmt so that resources can be borrowed from other LDOMs... but IMHO, Oracle has made a mess of it all... so I stick with zones for now.
