Build new site with stable script or wait for new version?

  1. Move forward with current stable versions and do upgrades later.

  2. Use new versions of software and install theme/mods as they are developed.

    Hello All,

    I have a few questions. I am ready to build a site that is going to require two scripts to be integrated and I am not sure if it is best to start with the current (stable) versions of each script (and do upgrades later) OR wait for the stable version, then build the site. I plan to use phpfox and vBulletin.

    The site I am building I plan to make similar in construction to BodyBuilding-dotcom. (different topic/subject matter tho) and I wanted to know if my requirements are possible, and any suggestions to make the job easier.

    Here is a brief explanation of how I plan to set up the site. The landing page will be on the main domain, with a brief intro and links to each of the following sub-directories and the scripts I plan to use on said directories:
    /shop - OScommerce shopping cart script ver. 2.2 RC2 OR vB/Joom cart mod
    /news - Joomla CMS script ver 1.5 OR the CMS feature from Vb ver4
    /community - phpfox social network script ver 1.6.21 OR phpfox ver2
    /forums - vBulletin forum script ver 3.8 or 4.0

    I would like:
    - One integrated universal member log-in.
    - A custom/modified Member Profile page that integrates the major functions of each script.
    - Custom log-in box and place it in the header of each script.
    Problem:
    No themes or mods avail for new versions of either script!

    There are some very talented programmers and designers here and I value your input.
    Please, I am open to dialogue, suggestions, bids, ideas and the like.
    WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE ME.

    FYI-This is what the social network aspect if the site already looks like. Still tweaking the design.

    BONUS Additional Work to whoever does this job for me:
    I hope to build a long term working relationship with the programmer who takes the job, as there will undoubtedly be additional scripting and programming work for this project, as well as script updates.
