Just make sure you get a tripod that is guaranteed to hold the weight of camera body, lens, ballhead, flashes, etc. The same goes for the ballhead on top. Personally, I'd choose a Gitzo Carbon Fiber tripod and Really Right Stuff BH-55 (ballhead).
And enjoy your 7d, you lucky bastard!

an expensive tripod will not help you take a better picture, no matter how much carbon fiber is in it.
buy a $80 manfrotto and spend the money you saved on hookers and blow.

Manfrotto with an Arca-Swiss compatible ballhead.

I have a smaller one, & with head was around $500
Honestly, it breaks down really well, extremely light and by far the best tripod I have owned.
