The native file dialog on Windows 7 works very well after some testing.
Non-ASCII path and file names seem to work well, too.

I don't know how to set up "automounted remote servers", so can't test it.
But what the native dialog offers is access to network drives, I tested it with 
a file on a network drive added via the RDP client (I think this uses SMB under 
the hood) and this works fine while the GTK dialog does not see those drives.

To me it seems fine to use those dialogs since it seems to work well and if it 
goes the same for "Save As" and maybe "Open Folder". Making it configurable is 
a good idea, I don't mind about the default.
Most of the infrastructure for the setting we already had (see #3219 and #3791) 
which could be revived.
