Current version of automaketemplate is compatible with 6.2; the 
technology is quite a few years old, but still working.

You can use BE layouts to have a nice interface for the editors. These 
work with "colPos" settings to separate the content of different regions 
on the page. For frontend rendering you can use this with any templating 
method; fluid templates, automaketemplate, etc.

Without going into detail, there will be a version of TemplaVoilà that 
is compatible with TYPO3 CMS 6.2. What will happen for later releases is 
still unclear, but that is of course the case for a lot of extensions.

6.2 will be an LTS version, which means that it will be supported for a 
longer period than normal releases. There is an overlap of a year with 
the support of 4.5 to make it easier to migrate sites from 4.5 LTS to 
6.2 LTS.

Since 6.2 isn't released yet you could go for 6.1 and upgrade when 6.2 
is released (that will be a relatively easy upgrade).
The choice of templating system really depends on what system you like, 
how much you can handle more complex configuration, how much 
customization you need, etcetera.
Fluid will be used with new extensions, so if you use it for the 
templating of your site you are familiar with it when you need to do the 
templating for an extension.
