For a greenfield app, would you recommend starting with 1.7, or do you think it ...

Andrew has said in the past that his intent is to provide a migration path from classic South to "South 2.0" which will backport migrations to earlier versions of Django (versions 1.4-1.6, I believe) and also build on top of the migration infrastructure in Django 1.7.

You should be fine sticking with South for now.
