If you're out for a serious ride then clipless shoes and pedals make sense, especially if you are also Lycra clad, so that you look like a serious cyclist.
If you are riding a bike as part of another activity that includes a reasonable amount of walking then clipless shoes without recessed cleats are completely unnecessary, and also make you look a bit silly when walking to the coffee shop for your skinny latte.
Nothing at all wrong with dual purpose pedals like the ops. There is not one best option that covers all the various types of cycling.
