We are using both the commercial Allegro (though not the latest
version) and CMUCL (free, 18e and the latest 19c, the latter
having a stricter compiler), and we would like to port to SBCL,
a fork of CMUCL with a windows port under construction.
They all have multiprocessing, networking, and a good compiler;
CMUCL does not have unicode support.

For getting used to LISP, I'd recommend clisp as a very user-friendly 
system.

All of them may fail on some other of your requirements, though...
