Which version of VMWare will I need?

I actually have licensing now for setting up a new VMWare HA system - vCenter Server 8 Foundation for vSphere and two vSphere 8 Standard licenses for one processor - but given the Broadcom purchase and price changes, I'm thinking of finding a different solution... unless I can validate the pricing after the current license period expires is acceptable.

The system is quite basic. Two hosts for a small business, storage on a Synology SAN, and I plan for an HA installation to host a Linux-based legacy system we're migrating from, as well as a dual Windows Server installation - one to host SQL server - to provide our sharing, Active Directory, and the new system to which we're migrating. (Essentially three, perhaps 4 virtual machines.)

Under the new packaging, what level of VMware do I need for a basic 16-core, single CPU per node, two node HA setup? Does vSphere Standard support HA?
