@Andrew Berry: Exactly! Anyone still running 4.7 IS asking for trouble and is missing out on all the goodness of Drupal 7.
Also excellent advice regarding git and SFTP. That is the same way I like to setup our development servers. I generally go as far as uninstalling the FTP server software altogether since SFTP only requires an ssh server.
However our production sites run on Rackspace Cloud Sites, so we don't have to manage mission critical server deployments but can focus our energy on website design and development. I know not everyone will agree with this approach for financial and level of control reasons, but it has served us well.
