You're going to have to do a lot more homework then worry about the AP. Your system isn't going to be just one AP. It'll be several, with repeaters. Every AP will be different and some have QOS to handle the traffic. You first need to know the bandwidth of the supplying connection. It doesn't matter how many users it can handle. 1 user can bring a single AP to its knees.

This system, done properly will start out in thousands of dollars and go up from there.

You'll also want to study Antenna theory and pay attention to EIRP and lest the FCC knock on your door and fine you.

If you do you homework and ask the questions intelligently you'll get the help you need. We have several users that do this for a living but you have to do you homework first. Asking the question in the manner you did doesn't show much promise.
