Well, I always stop my engine when I come to a stoplight I'll be at for more than 10 seconds. I only use EOC when I'm approaching these stoplights, so it's like just shutting off my engine a little earlier for the light whie I'm still rolling up to it. I figure this can't be too horrible as it's usually fairly slow moving, and for short distances (<.25 mile). So we'll see how it goes, whether or not I need to replace my tranny or starter any time soon (**knock on wood**)
