Nux generally requires epel as they build against packages in epel rather than reinventing that particular wheel. Both repos work well together and generally don't cause issues with el7 in my experience. The only issue I've had with epel is that they can be slow to remove packages from their repo once they appear in the core distro. It is also frustrating that they do not use a dist tag to easily identify packages from epel.
