GPL is hostile to commercial uses. Offering GPL only would restrict the use of your code to inhouse development and personal projects.
You could ALSO offer a "commercial" licence. That would give users the right distribute your code with their closed-source commercial code.
The dual licence approach means that users that aren't making money off your code don't have to pay, and those that are do.
On the repository point: I'd suggest putting the current code onto something like Google Code. If you're not moving the code forward and no one else can fix bugs or make improvements, then the project is basically dead.
