No, members of the Group will have contributor rights effectively - however to the contents that is realistically the ability to do whatever they want, just not change permissions.

jcgonzalezmartin - I think I would rather not use a group -- simply because of all of the *extra* things that come along with the group (mailbox, calendar, notebook, etc). I would like to keep this as simple as possible.
With that being said - the thought would be to create a separate site for each of the top level shares mentioned above?
Everytime I login to my E3 portal and get to my SP admin page it just makes my head hurt because I feel like there should be more that I am missing. Any chance you could provide any technet or something other resource that could act as a primer for setting this up?
Thanks
