I'm a cheap bastard so I use clips. I can get out of them really easy but getting into them is more difficult. I need more work on my technique but I believe that the skill can be acquired to make it easy. There is some slop in the lift but I keep my straps very loose for quick ejection. The high price of clipless and the idea of having my feet tied down in a crash keeps me away from clipless but I may try them one day.
