Toe Clips n Straps

I have a singlespeed bike I use for fun, work, and for just riding around. I have these big fat almost bmx like pedals on them. I have no problem with these, it's just that I've been trying to seriously work on my spin and my form as a whole. At high cadences I feel like I lose a lot of momentum sometimes because I'm readjusting my feet on the pedals. I don't feel like I'm getting a full distribution throughout my pedaling rotation. My question is, should I put pedals with toe clips and straps? I've read from a couple of you that this helps with a sort of "push and pull", instead of just having your feet just "float" on the up-rotation.

Also, my bottom bracket is pretty low. Will clips become a problem with this? Should I just shelve it in and get clipless? I'm not sure they're for me.

Thanks for your help.
