As an investment, it makes sense to build the dynamo wheel in 700c, since you can use it more easily on your other bikes, and it would be easier to sell. I would build the new dynamo front wheel with 700c, and rebuild the rear wheels later. You could use a puffier tire in front to keep everything level. Kind of weird, sure, but not as weird as having a trike. :^)
I just built a 700c dynamo wheel I can theoretically move between 4 household bikes (two have dynamos already). The one I want to use it on... well, I should have used a much wider rim.
