I don't know about different water files based on the system; that seems a bit 
arbitrary.  I'm referring to the one single water.gro file here:

http://md.chem.rug.nl/~marrink/MARTINI/Coordinates.html

If there are differences between using the water structure with proteins and 
lipids, any changes are likely reflected in the force field, version 2.0 for 
lipids, and version 2.1, which is the extension to proteins, if there is a 
difference at all.  Any reasonable equilibrated box of water will probably 
suffice; your equilibration will likely take care of any differences, if they exist.
