Well, let's see...last manual transmission car I had was my '79 Chevette. In 180,000 miles, I replaced the starter nine times (a couple of those were defective starters right out of the box) and the clutch once. With the starter going out so many times, I got to really identify with a couple lines out of "Country Home" by Neil Young:
"I don't like to go down to the flats
'cause I can't park on a hill.
Instead of getting a rolling start,
I have to pay the bill."
When I was a little kid, my dad drove to work in a '49 Ford. Our street had a gentle downhill slope, and he nearly always started the car by popping the clutch. And in the several years he did this, I don't recall him replacing the clutch.
So, I would guess that popping the clutch to restart when EOCing would probably be quite alright. All my examples would be harder on the clutch than EOCing would be.
