I like clipless pedals, they keep your foot securely on the pedal while allowing you to easily get them off if needed. I wouldn't go with road style clipless pedals and would want something with a cage around it to give my foot support but I think they are excellent. I have been using the PD-A530s but will be switching to the XT level PD-T8000 because they do have better grip on the platform side. Since I use SPDs on several other bikes it makes sense to be able to use them on my touring bike as well.
