Platforms with ols school toe clips for me, mainly to keep the shoe centered, not clipped in. I stop a lot to take pictures and try to maintain an easy pace so I do not need the performance benefits of clipless, which may be there for sustained long distances. To me clipless would be an added action and expense because I am not used to clipping in and don't have to buy specialized equipment for the job.

But that's just a personal preference, which it will be for everyone. YMMV. I have 7 bikes currently and have to make choices between specializing shoes and pedals for each or standardizing.
