people will answer you like this:
1-clips are best
2-clipless is best
3-search for this topic, already been done.
i side with clips, cristophe steel clips (the ones that say "christophe" down the middle section in nice vertically stamped letters) with alfredo binda leather straps (the ones with the little hole to loop and pull the excess through) or toshi double straps (the ones that are double straps, leather, etc). i dont know a thing about clipless.
I've never used clipless, and I don't have any experience using toe clips on a fixie. My main concern with clipless is that I would imagine that it's very difficult to unclip while the pedals are moving. I've seen a fair amount of fixies around town with clipless, though, and I'm curious as to what they offer that the less expensive and simpler toe clips don't.

I thought that the cleats were screwed into the bottom and protruded out from the sole....are they recessed or easy removable? Like I said before, I have no experience with clipless.
Since the winter's coming up, I actually picked up a pair of Dimension mountain bike pedals ($20) to use until the spring (and I until get more comfortable with riding fixie)
