Is one more commonly needed than the other?
There's a regularly updated thread in Software that lists discs encoded with DD EX and DTS-ES. Judge for yourself:

If a unit has DTS ES and not DD EX, is that a big deal?
I've never heard of such a unit. If a unit can do DTS-ES Matrix, it can also do DD EX. The difference comes with DTS-ES Discrete; not all units can do that, although, as Kevinkall notes, it's becoming more common and more affordable to have all of these modes included.

Most receivers aren't upgradeable.

I'm going to repeat what I said above:
