A geared bike allows you to crank the speed up a bit more to where you'll be able to find at least moderate resistance, Other than that it's about what you're looking to get out of it. IMO if you use a fixed gear, it'll take you some experimentation to find a gear where there'll be enough pedal pressure to feel right.
