What would be good surrounds to complement my EB1i's?

What about the DB1i or TB2i. DB1i's have received nice reviews.

I would stay with soft dome drivers. I'm assuming that you're thinking about center, sub and a pair of rear speakers for 5.1 listening.

I have a JL Audio F113, the center is a no brainer..... CB6i.

The surrounds would be the hardest decision. Floor standing or bookshelf etc.

The center speaker is the most important piece. CB6i for center, TB2i or DB1i's for rears.

PMC of course. But how do you plan to power them? Might make a difference in the model.

I 'm using a CB6i for center.
Rear: that's just ambiance. I would just be careful not to choose a model with the bass output on the rear cause this would cause a problem if the speakers were to be wall attached.
I'm using a pair of Linn Keilidhs in walnut : same finish as my EB1i, and a powerful and full bodied sound. Same character as PMC.
Cheers,
Jérôme
