They are equivalent when operating on lists, but not so when operating on vectors (peek = constant time last, pop = log time remove last element) or queues (peek = first, pop = remove first element returning a queue -- rest/next would return a seq).
Also, they refuse to work with non-list sequences (try (peek (range)) or (peek (cons :foo ())) at the REPL). In general, they operate on clojure.lang.IPersistentStack instances. (That's right, persistent queues implement IPersistentStack.)
