Yep. SO is quite a good ORM and we have core developpers using exclusively SO.

If you want to use SA 0.4 you will need to use TurboGears 1.0.4b2,
since SA 0.4 introduced some changes in the final version that we
fixed in this release.

I am not sure here. Maybe 0.3 could be interesting, but 0.4 final is
well documented and supported since TG 1.0.4b2 (beta versions of SA
were supported before that). I would tend to say that since you chose
SA in the first place you are not afraid of complexity and are after
power and flexibility.
In that case _I_ would go for 0.4.0 final (I did not test 0.4.1 yet).
But this is just a personal feeling, not an authoritative answer.

Fellow TGers?
