I would just ride the bike fixed all the time. If you want to have a coaster brake AND a fixed wheel, you will have to deal with the coaster brake's reaction arm: (picture borrowed from Sheldon Brown's http://www.sheldonbrown.com/ website.) Also, a coaster brake will most likely be heavier and less efficient.
