I am building a site and need some keywords to use for the SEO side of things.

Keywords which are going to be selected by you for your website should be according to the services your are providing to the customers. If your are targeting any particular country then location specific keywords will be great. Also, one thing i would like to suggest you that if you are selecting the long tail keywords then please analyze their search volume and competition. Because, some time it happens that long tail keyword which you have selected are of no use, means there are very few searches for them. This will effect the traffic.

don`t use it for few specific reasons...

This has no impact from the SEO point of view and search engine is not getting or collecting any information from this...so why write more?

If the Meta Keyword tag is smartly inserted then it can be dangerous and this is because you are seriously helping your competitors to see what keywords are you targeting on the page and then he can alter his strategies accordingly to outrank you in search engine from the desired key phrases.

Matt Cutts says "It's possible that Google could use this information in the future, but it's unlikely. Google has ignored the keywords meta tag for years and currently we see no need to change that policy."

However, there are other search engines and directories that use the keyword meta tag. For example, Yahoo! still uses it.

You can use any keywords you need but don`t use meta keywords tag.

I think this article explains it very well about how to search and analyze the keywords http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-write-seo-...
