Hi Myth...
Short answer:
Yeah, I would... For many reasons... Try MTW VI/v.2.01 (Gold Edition)...
Long Answer:
Yup, I would... Due to a bunch of reasons... Performance wise you will be better off with Redux as it will deliver a much more stable and reliable game then original MTW does on W7 (64bit) - you'll have much less crashes and freezes. Redux will ultimately ensure that your chances of running the MTW-engine successfully at all is maximized upon W7 (because it is not dead certain that it will with all hardware).
As for MTW-versions, unless you have some original disks the only version you are likely to have available is the MTW VI/v.2.01 gold-edition (same thing for any SEGA/ download version of MTW) which is the most reliable version around of MTW, performance-wise (I prefer the v.1.1 myself). For Redux it means optimal stability and performance as it runs pretty much rock solid on that stuff.
As for the game as such... In short and to be frank, Redux essentially kills raw MTW. It outperforms and outshines raw MTW in virtually every turn and this all over, all the time. It was designed to do so, and it does just that. As a W7 user, I think you should just disregard raw MTW altogether and go straight for Redux. I think that is a better place to start for you anyhow (all things considered). For more details in general see this Redux-wiki:
