There has been a lot of discussion recently about this and two papers by Mike Carroll and others arguing convincingly that only CC-BY makes sense. CC-NC is impossible to define or operate in practice and only serves to prevent useful things happening. CC-ND prevents any normal scholarly and other re-use. The funding agencies are all now insisting on CC-BY for "Open Access". So by adopting that you become acceptable target for publishing their funded work.
