I've used usitebuilder in several projects and have found it quite useful. Perhaps you could consider usitebuilder admin which sits on top of usitebuilder and allows more control over things (the vanilla usitebuilder syncs doc types every time the app restarts which may not be good for large sites).
Is it possible to create document types with code-first?
I don't want to define my document types in Umbraco's backend, is this possible to do using code-first? I found two interesting projects:
1. umbracodefirst: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbracodefirst
2. http://usitebuilder.codeplex.com/
It looks like uSiteBuilder is the newest one, should I go for this one?
I also want to use MVC, and strongly-typed properties from my ducments types
Umbraco 7 looks nice :) But I still want to use MVC and code-first to define my document types.. Is this possible? Any advice? :)

In terms of strongly-typed properties: you can probably get to where you want to go by using AutoMapper and umbraco core property editor converters.
Good luck!
