I'd stick with 1.1 for now.
1.2 is not released yet - last posting I saw about 1.2 in the development list was this
http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-dev%40jakarta.apache.org/msg21358.html
I'm a build-from-CVS kind of guy, so it's hard for me to recall, but I don't think there are any major features you'd buy using anything since 1.1. Also, many deprecated members have been removed since 1.1, so moving to 1.2 might take some getting used to.
However, the development of Struts is not so radical that you have much to fear in terms of stability. The nightly builds will have bug fixes and feature enhancements that (to me) make it preferable to keep up rather than use any older version.
Although the officially supported build tool is Ant, it's extremely easy to build from CVS using Maven, and it is completely functional for compilation of Jars; Ant still does the best job of building documentation and the examples, but most folks don't need to build that all the time. Ant is fine for building the dist also, although it is more work to configure a local copy of build.properties for the first time.
