I have a client that wants to build a universal contacts list for the
company. Reasonably I'm thinking of a contact list in the Public folder of
the Exchange box. (btw, Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003/2007 clients). They
want to set that list as their default list of checking contacts for valid
email addresses.

How would other people handle this?

That's how I would do it.

How do I set up Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 to use a Contacts List in a
Public Folder as the default address book so when they validate (alt-k)
addresses and hit the "To" button on emails that then this is first list they
look at vs. their personal contacts list?
