I think a poll is a bad way to make such a decision. First, the poll options seem written in a way that would skew the answers towards "no precedence" (too many good sounding options towards that end of the continuum).
Second, I have never programmed in an infix-notation language without operator precedence, and I imagine most programmers are like me. I can't possibly know if I will continue to make stupid mistakes due to my intuition about precedence for just a couple of days after learning the language, a couple of months, years, or forever.
That said, I would encourage you to try the language without precedence and ask early adopters about their experience. If it is at all possible to have precedence in your way of doing things and it turns out to be needed enough, you can implement it later.
