First it depends on number of receivers offcourse, and also what the 
content are - is it just a news mail, or is it sales mails

With sales mail, I would go for a solution like mailchimp.

Because of the
  - statistic
  - a/b splits
  - timed mail delivery
  - etc

But if you want to have tcdirectmail upgraded, please put in on
http://wiki.typo3.org/TYPO3_4.7#List_of_known.2C_incompatible_Extensions
and also inform the author.

There are problem with most extensions in 4.7 that are using html 
emails, because of the removed t3lib/class.t3lib_htmlmail.php.
(was deprecated in 4.5)
