It depends entirely upon how you want users to interact with your system. If you have multiple "documents", then MDI is usually indicated. MDI stands for multiple document interface. If you don't have multiple documents, then SDI is usually indicated (Single document interface).

But, without having much more detailed requirements, we couldn't guess. You're the only one that knows what your app is going to do.
