Personally, I'm sure the white MacBook will more than suffice. Having said that, though, the aluminum MacBook Pro is well worth the extra $200.
White MacBook ($1099)
Aluminum MacBook Pro ($1299)

Resale value on the unibody macbook is gonna be way higher. The build quiality on them is truly outstanding, for $200, for a machine you are going to use for 3 years, its worth it.
Edit: The 13" Macbook Pro should also have a higher quality screen than the whitebook - I'm not 100% certain on this, however the whitebooks that were available prior to the introduction of the unibody Macs were not very good, in my opinion. The current unibody Macs have what Apple would term their pro quality screen across the lineup.
