well, the no subscription fee is a plus, how "solo-able" is the game? Most of my friends are more fps, racing game people.
It's very soloable. Unlike GW1, the game isn't instanced, so you'll always have other players around, but there's absolutely no need to ever communicate with anyone, if you prefer sticking to yourself. Dungeons are the only part of the game that focus on forming specific groups to take on, but they're only really important if you want the high-tier rewards. If you join the Giant Bomb guild, I'm sure there will always be a few of us there running some of them though. I know I plan on going for some ghostly weapons as soon as possible.
It's also designed in a way that means you're never rewarded just because of the amount of time you spend playing each day. It's not like WoW, where if you stop playing for a week, you'll fall so far behind everyone else, you'll never be able to catch up. Leveling is relatively easy, stats on each tier of armour are normalised and returning to earlier areas lowers your level, so that you aren't overpowered. It removes a lot of the grinding and "ego" that other MMO's are plagued by.
As for Digital Deluxe vs Regular, I'd just go for the regular game. The DD comes with a few unique items that aren't particularly special and you can upgrade to that version of the game anytime after launch, if you're really jealous of someone with that mini charr.
