Indeed. Even further, if you (generic) did ask in the Roadie or MTB forums you'd likely not get clips/straps for an answer.
RAMJ, what kind of shoes do you intend to wear? MTB clips may accommodate big-toed shoes better than old-style steel road clips. If you intend to ride in sneaker or running shoes, clips/straps work well. If you don't like your feet tied down at all (yet) then just about any old-style platform, road, touring, or track pedal will work.
