Paul, 

      The great thing about the Univers family is that it will provide you with
      everything you need for corporate documentation as well as for display.




But why do you need to limit yourself to just one family? For example, Adobe Systems uses both Myriad and Minion for their corporate style. And the two work together very well. Each font has a specific role in Adobe's CID program. 

      Univers, with its rational relationships of weights, does say something
      right about the 'internet age'




...and boring and sterile. By itself, Univers is just very cold and somewhat mechanical to my eyes. But it can be used in conjunction with the proper serif.
