Whatever you use try to setup a proper domain name. Nothing screams small business more than a @gmail.com email address.
I thought that went without saying – if you weren’t setting up your own domain then there’s no obvious reason to pay as free Gmail would do the job. Though I’m not sure about your use of “small business” in a negative way – small business here and proud of it, plenty of small businesses doing things in a professional way (with their own domain).

Google support is excellent. Real (helpful) people on the end of a phone. Don’t confuse their free products with their paid for services.
I’ve no idea what sort of support you’d need – once it’s working it just works, I’ve never felt the need for support beyond FAQs and online instructions on my personal account, nor on the Google for education system I set up for the school (which has more users than our own company is ever likely to have). Though personally I had a problem with setup which was all my own fault (messed up allocating domain names) and it was resolved quickly and easily via text chat.
