For that specific piece, using spot colors will serve you well for many reasons. You have large areas of solid color, with extremely thin lines of color running through them, very detailed. Process will work great, no problem, but ADDING a couple of spots—specifically that navy blue—will ensure crisp outlines throughout. If it's all process, at a very close level, you'll see the dot patterns used to create light yellow and green and they won't look great next to the other solids. Spot colors for these will also look great, but don't use more than 2-3 on top of CMYK process for the reasons monoboy pointed out.
