Apart from the specific recommendations, it's probably also worth 
mentioning that it's hard to paint yourself into a corner by choosing 
one specific CL implementation since Common Lisp is exceptionally good 
at changing your approach very late in the game. If you keep the 
implementation-specific dependencies well separated, there is not much 
that can go wrong. There are examples of pieces of software that have 
been implementation-specific in the past but have been ported to other 
implementatios later on (for example AllegroServe) because there was 
apparently enough interest to do so.

I think it's more important to see more good Lisp software, so whatever 
helps you to get your work done is a good thing (tm). Trying to solve 
all problems at once isn't necessarily the best approach...
