As the title says, I'm gonna start a survival server for me and a couple of two or three friends more to play a survival world, should I wait until 1.8 or start now?

In my opinion you have two options.
1. Start it in 1.7 and encourage your friends to stay very near to spawn until 1.8 comes out. This way you don't have to travel countless blocks to find a chunk that has the 1.8 generated blocks and structures.
2. Start a 14w25b snapshot server and hope Mojang doesn't throw more generation changes at us in the coming snapshots.

Iron Miner: Burnt Hands.BudderGold Miner:Sky Army Stuck At Home: It's a nightmare Redstone Miner:Electrician.Diamond Miner: I'm rich! Lapis Lazuli Collector: Enchanting Time!
I voted for wait until 1.8, but then again I've also been playing on the snapshots since they've been available, both in SSP and SMP.
Since you are involving other people, you probably want to take advantage of any excitement they may have towards starting a new map together and just use 14w25b.
I'm waiting to start a new SSP world when 1.8 officially releases, but I that's mostly to give me more time to enjoy the server I'm currently playing the 1.8 snapshots on.
