SPD's all the way unless you have nice stiff cycling specific shoes to use with clips/straps already. Ignore any reference to road shoes/cleats - imagine having to stop halfway up a climb and then having to re-start with single sided pedals..... fuuuuuuuuck that my friend. All very well using them if you're a mega strong rider who will never stop on a hill (punctures/mechanicals aside), but audax organisers love to throw in 25% climbs that get most people walking and you don't want to be doing that with road shoes.
