I can only tell you what I do. Based on the riding you described, I would go with a road shoe and a true road pedal system with a large pedal/cleat interface such as Look or SPD-SL for the reasons cited by the guy at your LBS. This is assuming you'll change shoes when you get to work. I just don't see where you'll be doing much walking in your bike shoes.
Just as he says, I use a different bike with different shoes and pedals when I plan to do more walking.
