IMHO, SQLite is an excellent high-performance small database.

I'd stay away from SQL Server Compact for any new developmnt.

According to Wikiipedia:
The latest, and last, release is the SQL Server Compact 4.0.[1] As of February 2013 SQL 
Server Compact Edition had been deprecated; no new versions or updates are planned, 
although Microsoft will continue to support until July 2021.

According to the official:  MS Download site Last Release 2012. Highest supporteed 
Windows version is Win 7.
