I like the SPD style clips because you can then use either race style shoe or touring shoe. Either type will allow you to walk around normally instead of the "duck walk" required with full on race/road cleats.

Another possibility - there are pedals that have flats ( for regular shoes ) on one side and SPD on the other - I like those on mountain bike where sometimes I wand to take a spin without changing shoes.
