You really don't need a speed sensor to start out with. It's an interesting option but I don't see much difference in speed or distance calculations whether I'm using GPS or a speed sensor on the wheel.
I do use cadence sensors for some workouts. But the only sensor I consider a must is a heart rate sensor to help guide my workout intensity. Especially this time of year when I'm struggling to regain heat adaptation for Texas summers. My recent workouts show uncharacteristic heart rate spikes and high average HR, so I'm taking it much easier on my rides and running sessions for now.
