Use Win7 if you use it as your daily/gaming rig and BAMT if you have a spare USB and want the extra speed from a mining only OS.
I prefer windows 7 as well with crossfire for the extra speed 
It doesnt make a big enough difference unless you are planing on setting up a full mining farm running 24/7
It really depends, if you're going to use that pc for other purposes get Windows, else get BAMT
Has BAMT matured since October? I tried it then and found it to be incredibly unstable with CGMiner.

People have had good results with either. If you're building a GPU mining rig you should definitely check out BAMT. It's a linux system on a USB stick, with drivers, miners and perl scripts all ready to go. Just write the image to the stick, plug it in, and edit two configuration files. I use it and am very happy with it. Check out the Project Development subforum as there's an ongoing thread there, to which the author regularly posts.
Nope, no crossfire, no dummy plugs, just plug and go.
Do you have to use crossfire?
Windows 7, no problems with 5 GPUs.
What is the best operating system to use for mining, in your opinion. In my case is use BAMT. What do you use?
