The real test of a friendship after the breakup is when you start seeing other people. For instance, my best friend was with this psycho chick for a couple years. We all hated her, but anyhow, they finally broke up and agreed to see other people. She pretty quickly started dating a couple people, my friend was cool with it, they were kinda friends and chilled out together sometimes, no problem. Then about 6 months later, he started dating another girl.....and all hell broke loose. She just went nuts, as we all predicted she would, cuz she's psycho.
Anyhow....be weary, be very weary. If you really think the friendship can work out then it's stupid to not give it a chance. It's never good to lose a friend, friends are the next most important people to family....at least true friends are. If you think the friendship may turn sour due to your past, then it might not be such a good idea to go along with it. Ultimately it's a decision you and her will have to work out for yourselves. If you think it's worth a shot, maybe you should talk with her to see if it'll really work. Lay out how things will or may be, see how she reacts to it....see if she'll be able to handle seeing you dating another girl. Decide if you'll be able to handle seeing her dating another guy.
I've known plenty people to be in pretty serious relationships with each other, some of them fought all the time, some didn't, some even ended in cheating, but I've seen them be friends for many years after the fact. I've also seen some extreme hate and threats too......so your mileage may vary.
