Not really; it is the probably choice of Debian for next release and
it has few missing features[1] only. It adds much nice features and is
a more clear codebase.

1. http://wiki.debian.org/GrubTransition

Besides that all, I'd choose grub2 since no feature that we're going
to use at an embedded system is missing and upstream is open for
contributions for it. In grub (they call it grub-legacy) we need to
handle the patches by ourselfs and that is one of the main reasons
(besides other more technical) that Debian is going to move from GRUB
to GRUB2 ASAP.

I'd say that technically speaking grub2 is the right choose for OE
since it will demand less work to maintain and keep it up to date.

My 2c.
