I made this choice and went with Affero GPL. This theoretically satisfies: (1) other devs building libre software, (2) non-tech-savvy customers who can still buy service, and (3) tech savvy entrepreneurs who want to limit lock-in and also need a compelling reason to spend money (limit licensing liabilities).
Some people are adamantly opposed to AGPL and prefer GPL or BSD. In my view, it's either because they fall into bucket 3 above or they simply prefer freedom to make software non-free. However, my outlook is that AGPL is the only actually free license and it also coincides with my business model (which involves essentially selling extra license rights or SaaS).
