Well, I switched from clips and straps to SPD clipless this summer, and loved it. But my commute is really too short to make it worth the hassle of changing shoes for work and etc (my Shimano shoes should probably be size 44, instead of 43, and walking around in them for hours is unpleasant). So I went down to the LBS and picked up some Wellgo double-sided pedals with plain cage on one side and a clipless side on the other. So now I can ride clipless when the urge strikes me, but the majority of my miles on the commuter bike are sans clips. The double-sided SPD pedals went on the new-to-me roadie, to replace the platforms with icky plastic toe clips, so all is well.
I still think that toe clips are the most versatile solution, but I've become a bit spoiled. I really prefer clipless to everything else! As for toe clips themselves, I like the old-style steel variety - XL to fit normal shoes or even hiking boots. Plastic? PAH! They can fit bigger shoes, but I care not. I've never used a plastic toe clip that I didn't hate.
