I say do dx8 or dx9
Vast, vast, vast difference. I believe that Microsoft has ended support for VB6. On the other hand, we have VB.NET which will be supported for many years to come. I don't think the people behind this project are stupid enough to not make it DX7 at least for the initial release. New programming language + DX8 + MS community == failure.
Let people get used to the language, and then have future versions that add those layers of complexity. However, to be quite honest, I don't think using DX8/DX9 is necessary whatsoever for what Mirage is meant to offer.
