In any case, with a new major release (etch - 4.0) coming out soon, I am
wondering which release to use right now... the testing release of 4.0 or
the stable release of 3.1 ?
I would say start with 3.1. If all is well, stick with it. Once Etch becomes
stable, you can upgrade from 3.1 to 4.0. Unlike other distros, upgrading
across stable releases is really easy!
Others have answered the rest of your questions. You might also find

useful.
A number of people reported problems with the upgrade from XFree86 to
Xorg and to using udev. It might be better to start with Etch and just
leave it at that. I did a clean install of Etch, myself (for the first
time since Bo). I did it for other reasons, actually, but I think it
may have been good from the standpoint of avoiding those particular
upgrade changes, as well.
