I think only the stack master has to be EMI. The rest of the switches in the stack could be SMI. However, if the switch with the EMI image died, then the new stack master would be running the SMI image and you'd lose your EMI capabilities.
So if you had a stack of (6) 3750's, and you had two of them with EMI images and four SMI, you would have redundant EMI stack masters and save some cash on the remaining four switches. Just set the stack member priority values so that your two EMI switches have higher priority than the SMI switches.

"The system-level features supported on the stack master are supported on the entire switch stack. If the switch stack must have switches running both standard multilayer software image (SMI) and enhanced multilayer software image (EMI) software, we recommend that a switch running the EMI software be the stack master. EMI features become unavailable if the stack master is running the SMI software."

Any one has any issues with running several 3750 with stack-wise cables?
No problems with that. When stacking 3750s, the stack in all practical sense becomes one switch. Actually, you can think of it sort of like a chassis-based switch, when the chassis has been removed and the backplane replaced with cables on the back. (Only, here you have as many supervisors as you have switches).
I want to have inter-vlan routing, EIGRP, not anything too complicated.
Well, for EIGRP you'll have to buy the EMI (Enhanced Multilayer Image), and do so for every switch in the stack. For a large stack, full layer 3 capability therefore becomes somewhat expensive.
Also, the plain 3750s can't (yet?) be stacked with the 3750 Metro, which is a shame.
