Default HD | Native Thunderbolt w/ 2008 Mac Pro?

I want to get the Thunderbolt version of HD Native since TB seems to be the interface of the future(?)

However, I have a 2008 Mac Pro (no Thunderbolt) so must I get get the PCIe HD Native to use with this Mac? (or conversely get a new Mac if I want to use Thunderbolt?)

I think you have all your options covered.
One thing to think about is how much longer your Mac Pro will be supported by Apple with new OSes

I'll be buying a new Mac Pro when they come out, later this ye... decade. I'll just wait and maybe AVID will have a Thunderbolt version of HDX by then.
