I use half clips on all my bikes. I have purchased both the Wahoo and Shimano clipless systems, but always feel more comfortable with the half clips. There are at least two styles. I get the ones with the wider opening for your shoes/toes. The narrower ones seem to age my bike shoes.
At 70 the last thing I need is to fall on my hip. I ride about 7,000 miles a year, and don't like change! LOL
