I agree that the cocoa builds are the nicest. But there is one problem that I've had with them: I wasn't able to successfully install swank-clojure through elpa from within that emacs. Curiously, I was able to install it through elpa in aquamacs, and then I had no problem using swank-clojure from within the cocoa (emacsforosx.com) emacs.
I'm at a loss to account for this, and I don't have the emacs-fu to debug this. All that aside, yeah the cocoa (emacsforosx.com) builds are very nice, minimalist and very functional.
