I'm not really in a position to say which implementation is superior. We tried both source re-writing and an isolated classloader for refactor-nrepl and I couldn't get the classpath to work right (we want our own deps isolated, but also access to the project's deps, resources etc for refactorings) so we ended up with source re-writing.
But I do feel the pain of this problem, and judging by the issues I see pop up on clj projects on github others are suffering too.
