Msngr, there's no accounting for your taste. And that's really all it comes down to: personal preference and taste.

And by the way, shoes for clipless pedals are not merely expensive and dorky, they are in some cases straight up dangerous to walk in. I fell down the steps in front of my house (twice) wearing cleats. Having said that, I love my look pedals. I have them on my road bike, and I've got a extra set that I sometimes put on another bike. But they don't work for me on a day-to-day basis. Clips and straps do. That's my preference. And it's why I think the OP should try them both out so he can see what he likes, as opposed to being told what to like by us.
