Clipless Pedals question

Yes, I used the search function. Searched up to page 10.

Anyways, I am new to road biking, just purchased my bike (will post pics as soon as it is delivered) and now I want to slap on clipless pedals.
I already have myself some shoes that I bought at my LBS - Shimano RO85 (http://www.amazon.com/Shimano-RO85-R.../dp/B000THBLNO)

Looking at ebay, there are some good deals out there. But obviously the cheaper I go the less quality.
I am looking into getting Shimano Ultegra pedals off ebay, but also considering the 105 option.

My question is, with me wanting to go as fast as possible off the start and then deal with the ME aspect with training. Should I just go straight to the Ultegra? Should I even consider the 105? http://www.roadbikereview.com/ isn't rating either all that high~

Also, what other options do I have around the same price range in the different suppliers in about the same quality/performance? I know there is Look, Time, Crank bros, and Speed plays are the most common names.

I want to have good, not great gear walking in, so I don't have to upgrade later. Help advise a noob.

THanks
