Word 2007 & 2010 do not conform 100% to the ECMA Open Office XML standard (even though MS wrote the draft), see
Office Open XML
I doubt that the differences are very significant, for what its worth I convert several Word 2007 DOCX's every day - albeit most are simple. So, I'd go with the 2007/2010 format because I know it works.
If you're inclined, then save both, unzip the two DOCX files, and then do a file compare on the contents with something like WinDiff or Beyond Compare.
