{Essence of the wild}
{infinite reflection}

So do you get to choose which one your creatures come in as?

Infinite reflection is an aura that you must attach to a creature. If you attach it essence, all of your existing non-token creatures will become copies of him. Creatures that enter after, well, every creature and the aura will be telling it to enter as a copy of essence, which is a bit redundant. Mainly the effect of infinite reflection on essence is turning your existing non-tokens into copies.

If you're asking what happens when reflection is on a DIFFERENT creature, then I think you get to ultimately choose what new non-tokens enter as under your control. Both ETB triggers go on the stack, and you get to choose the order.

This is assuming that Essence is a token copy, because essence itself and all non-token copies will be infinite-reflected into the other creature anyway

However you got to that point, if you have an {Essence of the Wild} and a different creature enchanted by {Infinite Reflection}, then you would chose which to apply (as long as it's a non-token.  Otherwise, you get a token that's a copy of EotW.)

Like Gorzo said.

You can make this situation:
{Llanowar Elf} on BF.
Cast {Essence of the Wild}, then cast {Talrand's Invocation} and put two token copies of EotW in play (not bad for {2}{U}{U}, eh?)
Cast {Infinite Reflection} on the Elf.  The Original EotW will be an Elf, the tokens will be copies of EotW.
Viola!  One way to end up in this situation.
