Every heard anyone talk about the Norman Conquest in "one thousand and sixty six"?

Yes, actually, although most say ten sixty six.

Proper ways to say what year it is now? Uh, 5770? 1431? 1388? ;-)

(As for the Gregorian date, your choices are equally correct, one being more formal and/or old-fashioned than the other. Which is the better choice depends on context and desired tone of voice.)
