I'm not sure if it's the best option, but a solution I found is to edit .spyder2/.spyder.ini and remove the inline from the line ipython_kernel_options = 'python --pylab=inline' This makes the ipython kernel behave as I want I couldn't get the internal ipython to behave as I want. It locks up on interactive drawing (i.e if ion() is called), and doesn't import what I want and I couldn't find the setup files for that yet, only for the kernel version.
As for the version, I'm using the 64bit version of the enthought distribution 7.3.1. Version 8 seems to be out, at least in beta, but not under the academic license. I've looked here http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ doesn't seem to be a newer version of spyder for 64 bits, but there is one for ipython now (0.13), will see if it makes a difference.
