sql server replication : Easy Questions - get me started

For merge, the central SQL Server should be the publisher. If you filter
your articles by site name data will not flow to the other subscribers. For
your version of sql server, yes merge is the most appropriate.

However, does data only flow centrally? If so, transactional replication
would be faster, not require a guid column on each table (assuming you have
pks on each table). This would require at least sql server standard edition
everywhere.

I have 3 retail sites running MSDE and I want to aggregate sales data at a
separate SQL Server. I run a VPN and I guess I need to use merge replication
to a full SQL Server Database. My questions are

1. Is the central server the publisher or subscriber
2. The three sites tables are identical and I would like a siteID added at
the table in the central server to distinguish which the data came from
3. If the central server is the publisher will unwanted data from one site
flow across to another.
