Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

You are 110% overthinking the decision.

Either pedal will accept clips and straps fine, except that the platforms seem to need nuts and bolts, whereas the track pedal is tapped. (not a big deal).

It's a question of preference, and possibly working width (if you have wide feet). The track pedal is double sided which is nice when first starting, but not nicer enough to factor. I have single sided pedals and have no issue pushing on the bearing housing for a revolution or two.

All things considered, I'd probably opt for the platforms, because the larger surface area will be nicer on the bottom of my foot if not wearing shoes with stiff soles, but it's not enough to worry about, if you want the track pedals.
