Management studio is the development environment for all MS SQL 2005 and above.

Developer is the best choice, as it has all the tools of enterprise, and the other server editions, which your site will run on.

However, its not free cost about $50. Express is free, with limited tools. And with express, you can either use a connection string in your web.config file or simply add a .mdf file in your app_data folder.

For asp.net You will be running a development environment and the only two versions that run on a development environment are

Express and developer.

Yeah,

You can always add a database to your work envrionment in VStudio in the database panel on the top right hand corner. You can either add a connection string and build your db directly or you can add a .mdf file in the app_data folder.
