Other issues aside, I like DCO over CLA because DCO signoff is per-commit, while CLA signoff is.. forever? It may make no practical difference, but I like not having code I've yet to write be covered by a CLA I already signed.

CLAs generally require explicit contribution by the contributor. The fact that code you write after signing the CLA is potentially contributable under the terms of that CLA does not mean the code is 'covered' by it, if by 'covered' you are implying that the receiving project somehow has rights to use the code even though you did not contribute it.
