Hm, I hope you think about that carefully :)
There are a few benefits to GPLv3, like the patent stuff and broader "compatibility", that are well worth having.
The AGPL stuff sticks in my throat a bit, but I think in practice it's not going to be a huge problem because AGPL won't be that widely used. Poor excuse, but giveth and taketh - being able to re-use Apache licensed software is the giveth :)
