If you knew neither, I'm convinced emacs would be the right answer. You'll have more peers to using both that can help you work through problems. You can edit the environment using a language that is similar to clojure... There are many small reasons like that.
But, you're desire to stay in vim (which you already know) may outweigh any of those reasons. Only you will be able to answer your question. I would give emacs 3-6 months of a trial period and then you'll know which you want. 2 guys on my team had previous vim experience and no previous emacs experience. I offered to try vim with Clojure if after using emacs they found they still preferred clojure in vim. So far, we're all still using emacs.

My question is a bit different: I am already an experienced vim user. I have been using vim mostly for editing shell scripts, config files etc. but not for active development. I am also not a vim expert such as one who can write at the speed of thought! (So this is a signal that I am not that much bound to vim and I can make a switch.) As far as I can see I need to type a little more in emacs for getting stuff done than I do with vim. Despite this disadvantage(?) does emacs really shine for begin an environment? On the other hand, vim-foreplay also looks promising at vim's side. I don't want to restart an editor flame war here but I really need advice.
