I've heard/read complaints about every single CSS-based method in use
for laying out web pages. Yet, most methods work just fine, and can be
combined, when the designer/coder know when, where and how to use them.
The rest is a question about browser-support and personal preferences.

Im planning on replacing those underscore hacks with the star selector method, is that still the way to go with ie 7 on the horizon?

* html selector {}
...will work just fine to target IE6 and older, so that's a good
replacement for the 'leading underscore' hack. IE7 will ignore both.

IE7 shouldn't need any hacks, but I'm pretty sure it will for many
layouts. So far only this hack seems to work...
*:first-child+html selector {}
...but I have no idea if that will last even into the final release, so
I won't recommend its use.

I'll give the fonts a room for a couple resizes-forgot about that one.

Give IE6 a chance while you're at it, without the user having to 'ignore
font-sizes', although it should ideally work then too - up to 'largest'.
Remember also that some out here (like me) has a 'minimum font-size' set
since we won't bother with resizing when we surf around. (It's amazing
to see how many sites that can't even take 'minimum font size: 14px'
well, because of the font sizing methods used.)
Advice: test a bit across browser-land, so you know what your design can
take.
