Common Lisp was the first Lisp I tried. But I found the library ecosystem a bit disappointing. This was more than a decade ago, though. No idea if Quicklisp has made everything more lively.
Clojure is nice. I like the emphasis on functional programming, and a very clean set of basic data structures and operations on them. Plus lots of great libraries.
Nonetheless, being on the JVM seems both a blessing and a curse. And I would love if it was a lot more performant. Clasp is tempting: https://drmeister.wordpress.com/2015/11/23/why-common-lisp-for-scientific-programming/ https://drmeister.wordpress.com/2015/11/23/why-common-lisp-f.... I wish concurrency was better.
