Use emacs, if you want the path of least resistance for writing pure clojure code. You'll have the most support from the community.
Use whatever IDE you already use for Java, if you need to do a decent amount of interop. I use both emacs (pure clj projects) & IntelliJ (when doing interop) and don't have much trouble swapping back and forth when working on different projects.
