It depends a bit on which language you intend to use.  If it's 
Java, then you won't have any trouble with either version, since 
that's ANTLR's "native" language and so is always up to 
date.  Several of the other languages for 3.0, however, are out of 
date or completely nonexistent, which would make using them a bit 
tricky :)  So if you're using one of those languages then you 
might be better off sticking with 2.7 for now, since it's more 
mature.
