I thought about 7.1 because 2.0 requires php 7+.
In general, try to use the latest release available to you.

Yes.
The newest version available. I use PHP 7 because it's easy to configure with nginx on Ubuntu
To clarify: the newest PHP version available to you that doesn't break MyBB too badly. Every once in a while, one of the 7.x releases will inevitably break some parts of the core. That's okay. Revert back to the working version you had before and update again as soon as MyBB's fully ready to support it (usually the next maintenance release).
That's how I'd put it.
I use php 7.0.x branch - full compatibility with MyBB, no issues. Anyway you can use php 7.1.x branch with the latest version of MyBB without any known issues - if you find any, let us know.
