If you want you could give FullWrite Professional a try on either 6.0.7 or 7.1. (Use System Picker for dual boot even!) This article describes using FullWrite Professional 2.0.6 under classic mode in Tiger. FullWrite supports the Claris' import/export XTNDs.
Currently my Classic II (with a 230MB hard drive) has 6.0.8, 7.1, and 7.5.3. While 7.5.3 runs fine but it does take the most RAM. (And the longest to boot obviously.) I have one or two applications that requires 7.5, otherwise 7.1 would probably be the highest I would need to go.

If you do the dual-boot thing, make sure that the Desktop Mgr INIT is installed in 6.0.x. That way, when you switch back to System 7, you don't have to click cancel as soon as the desktop rebuild dialog box appears. Otherwise, it gets about 1/5 of the way through and hangs.

My personal preference for a WP on a 68K Mac is MacWrite II... But, usually I just use ClarisWorks.
