Just got back from VMWorld where IBM announced their new & improved SP product, 
I would hold off until you can check it out, much easier to deploy & manage.

Rick,

I would run the 8.1.1 VE version if your vSphere stack supports it, the biggest 
improvements in my eyes above the 7.1 version are the restore performance that 
can go 5x in the right configuration (in my experience) and the tagging support 
(if you vShpere folder structure will work with it, but if not, you can always 
go for the classic scheduling method.
The improved restore performance of 8.1.0+ has proven very important and it was 
good it came when it did because in previous versions it became a pretty big 
issue.
8.1+ VE on a 7.1 server should not be a problem in my experience.
