People here are probably not going to like this but I will not trust Duck Duck Go until they release their whole source code and allow me to run my own instance. For now, there's still a middle man called Duck Duck Go that I have to blindly trust. I salute his efforts to make his page privacy friendly, but as long as there is a middle man and no one to check his source code to check if he's not sending anything about us, there can't possibly and technically be any guaranteed privacy. Any one who has taken basic cryptography course would agree with that.

Presumably you've sworn off Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft as well, and accomplish Internet search by using a self-hosted copy of ARCHIE.

Would be satisfied by an EFF audit?

Unless they have constant access to your servers to make sure you don't make any changes afterward... But even then, the only way to be sure about one's privacy on the net is to run your own server, no web service can beat that kind of privacy. I personally prefer Google to Duck Duck Go by the way (especially using chromium search feature by pressing TAB) but if I really really cared about privacy to the point of giving up on Google, Duck Duck Go wouldn't be enough, sorry. Good luck though.
