Another question: is there any real difference between straps and clips/cages? Would just straps be enough? Seems like it's all a matter of personal preference.
On a fixed gear you'll be regulating your speed with the pedals not the brakes.
as far as functionality between straps and cages, or clipless pedals, no they all keep your feet on the pedals as for performance yes there is a difference, If you already have platforms buy a set of Velcro straps they hold up well and you won't have to buy completely new pedals.
