Why wouldn't you upgrade to the latest stable version before starting? If
you encounter bugs or problems, the first advice you'll likely get is
"upgrade." And definitely use fsfs.

Also, to backup the repository, can I just rsync the repository area?

No because if your repo gets a commit in the middle of your rsync you'll
have an inconsistent state. Search the mailing list archive for "svnadmin
hotcopy".
