What chmod value I am supposed to use for rails app development? Is 777  
a good idea? Or should I use sudo when I run my commands (such as  
script/server)?

I always use 755, only running rake gems:install needs sudo for me.  
You can run script/server without sudo. This is MY config, otherwise  
the permisions in the develpment environment are not critical.
