For what it's worth, the EPL is as amenable as the GPL is to the copyright holder's offering the option of a paid, non-reciprocal "commercial license".
So, given that's the case, the real question comes down to how long you want or need the fangs of the license's reciprocal clauses to be. I personally have no problem with copyleft, and will be taking the EPL + commercial option route with one of my own projects in the near future.
I realize that monetization strategies are a big deal if you're essentially trying to "pay the bills" with your open source project. I can't help thinking, though, that choosing the GPL when the vast majority of the Clojure ecosystem is under the EPL - and given that the two licenses are incompatible - is a misstep. I hope to be proved wrong. :-)
