I've compiled all of my educational resources to begin writing my first mod. I'm curious if anyone has any ideas of which forge version might be best to chose. I know there was a change with fluids in 1355+, and several mods don't work with each other because of different forge versions. Which version would be compatible with the most number of mods? And if a later version has other benefits, regardless of compatibility, which features would make it worth it?

Yeah I think by now most mods should be compatible with the fluid changes. In any case, I guess it'd be nice if you make your mod work with the recommended and the latest version.

Latest/Recommended always!
If you build with the latest it helps ensure future compatibility and mods from the past that are not compatible will likely be update or not maintained.

1448. I've started with 1291 in 1.7.10, and after updating, my fluid code was still working. Even GregTech was compatible with 1355 fluid changes in a day after 1355's release.
