I've just started playing again after a hiatus. I see that STO now has weekly content. Should I start from the beginning with the Breen, or should I do the Romulan/Reman content first?

Not exactly. It has "featured episodes" that come out each week for the length of that series(5 weeks). But then it will be 2+ months before the next series come out. And since the 3rd series just ended, we're going to have a long time to wait until the next one. So if you do 1 a day that will give you 15 days of content until the next series comes out.
What about the special rewards? I understand that each story arc has it's own specific reward, but only for a few days after launch of that episode. If I want the nifty Reman Shield, I need to boogie to do that one soon, right?

Depends how quickly you play through? I'd do the Reman/Romulan one now because it has a limited edition reward. You've already missed the limited reward for the other two series so you can do them whenever you like.
You generally will have at least 2 weeks after the last episode in a feature series premiers to claim the limited time reward.
Considering the series just ended this past Saturday, that should give you plenty of time to get the Reman bridge officer reward for the current series even if you do all three series in order (Breen -> Devidian -> Romulan).

Per the calender on the main page:
5th-24th: FE Limited Reward: Reman Officer
So the 24th will be the cut off date on that reward.

the stories progressively get better

Then play the Breen and the Devidians.
Good news for you: There probably going to be re-runs of the past two series - so you may get the chance to get the previous two special rewards, too!

Good point. Totally missed that.
