It seems reasonable to go with whatever internal representation makes most sense for the game to save in, say JSON, and later make an exporter for saving compliant SC2k files. I say compliant, because the game will actually accept loading files that it'll never allow being generated (see my Floating Cloud City or Hell at Clubopolis: http://patcoston.com/sc2k/cities.asp). It's also tolerant of compression quirks, as long as it's compliant. I wrote a test case that was the worst possible compression the game could support, and it opened the city fine.
