What are you doing in those sessions for which VNC is needed instead of putty?
If everything you do would work via putty, you are far better off using putty rather than VNC.
If you need VNC, then maybe you'll get better answers to your questions if you mention some things you want to use that wouldn't work via putty.
If you use VNC, I think most of the ram used by the desktop would be shared across all users, but most of the ram used by VNC would not be shared across users.
When selecting a desktop for a single user system with too little ram, the ram footprint of the desktop software may make a big difference. But for your purposes, the ram size of the desktop software is almost lost in the noise. It should not be a factor in selecting a desktop. Select the one you think will be less confusing to your users.
