Being on and off my bike as much as I am everyday, my main advantage is cost. I'd go through a pair of shoes in 6 months to a year and cleats every 4 months or so. Rediculous amount of unclipping from worn cleats is no fun!
Clips and straps is about once a year each.
I also have some oldschool adidas Eddy Merckx shoes with cleats for the track, completely locked in place!
Obviously if you road-race or ride trails, you should have the appropriate footwear/pedal system. I feel that goes for street riding as well...
