I tried searching but the noise in the responses is high due to 'fit' being both a function and a valid term.
If I'm new to Mathematica should I just default to LinearModelFit (v7) and recognise Fit as a v1 version that got superceded?
My instinct is 'yes' but wondered if there were valid use cases where Fit would be preferred over LinearModelFit.

You may want to take a look at mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/182053/… for an example of some of the usage differences.LinearModelFitgenerates a model object which has some useful properties (e.g. "RSquared"), in addition to the fit itself. In short, I'd only recommendFitif you just want the shortest code for getting the linear fit expression without any other baggage.

There are a few major differences between Fit and LinearModelFit.
LinearModelFit generates a full model object as its output, which maintains a large set of interesting properties (such as RSquared or ANOVATable). These can be accessed by:
lmf = LinearModelFit[{2, 3, 4, 5}, {x}, x];
lmf["Properties"]
lmf["RSquared"]
By default, LinearModelFit assumes that the zero-intercept may be non-zero. This property is controlled by the IncludeConstantBasis option. LinearModelFit has several interesting but advanced options available as well, such as the ability to define weights and perform error propagation through the model.
The final fit expression from LinearModelFit can be extracted with Normal.
Fit does not assume a constant basis, and returns the fit expression directly. It does not calculate additional properties, will automatically convert exact numbers to machine precision, and only finds the least-squares fit. LinearModelFit and Fit can work at arbitrary precision (as unlikely as that may be to be useful), but only LinearModelFit allows the specification of WorkingPrecision as an option.
The primary advantage of Fit would appear to be its simplicity and brevity. If you only need the least-squares fit expression or are doing code-golf, Fit should suffice. In most other cases, I would recommend using LinearModelFit, if only to be able to access the various quality measures it can calculate on the side.
Note, however, that I wouldn't expect either function to have significant errors -- they ultimately should find the same model, assuming that the constant basis is either included or excluded in both, and that no special options are specified in LinearModelFit to adapt the model to a specific use case. It's just a question of if you want/need the additional data of the model object.
