I am beginning a new web project that will have about thirty sites. Each site will have 50 - 100 pages of content that is always being added to, so no content is ever going away.

I am interested in creating database driven XML sitemaps to help the search engines find our pages quickly.

Do XML sitemaps actually do much good, assuming that all of your content as available through links? What are the benefits of using an XML sitemap?

The sitemap is just another way to let search engines find your content. If your content can be found through internal linking, like from an HTML sitemap, then there isn't a tremendous need to have a sitemap. But it is a good, albeit redundant, way to make sure search engines can find your content.
