There are many comparisons online, but opinions are cheap, so I will offer mine.

For SICP, stick to Scheme. The ideas are valuable in themselves, and IME it’s easier to learn the author’s obscure language than to translate to another language. When you’re struggling to learn something, I prefer not to waste time figuring out whether it’s not working because it wasn’t translated properly or because I made a mistake in the procedure. Especially when SICP uses Scheme’s tail call optimization, which few other Lisps have. Racket is one of the few.

Other than that, it’s just a matter of personal taste and practical considerations. I especially like how Clojure and ClojureScript run well on dominant legacy platforms, the JVM and the browser, but you could choose otherwise.
