Umbraco 7 will work with .net 4.5 upwards so you could start with .net 4.5.0 !
but i would look at least 4.5.2 as this is the service pack, has any fixes to the base .net 4.5 release.
Personally i go for 4.6.2 - mainly because that has a couple of extra capabilities and often other packages you might add to your site might require 4.6+
There is no reason why you can't target the very latest version of .net (4.7.2 at this time of writing)
there are code and performance improvements in each release (although i think you get some of the performance ones, even if you use the lower framework and then run it on a server with the higher one installed) so 'newer is always better' might be your viewpoint.
The biggest thing to check before you pick is what is the target server running, i have been stung once or twice developing a site only to discover the clients servers didn't have anything past .net 4.5 installed.
