Starting is slightly different from system to system but you still engage one side while stopped, push/pedal forward then engage the other side in the appropriate manner. From my experience, the main reasons to choose 1 system over another are either float and/or whether you need recessed cleats. Ease of exit/entry is more related to a little practice and some brief forethought.
