Bare in mind that you will be applying more upwards force to the pedals on a fixed than a bike with a freewheel. Also things can get a bit messy, should you unclip unintentionally. I have eggbeaters on a geared bike and love them, but they would'nt be my first choice for my fixed (where I have quattros for better connection).
MTB set-ups are good for walk-ability, putting feet down at lights etc. as are touring style set-ups (road cleats but shoes have extra rubber chunks for walking). Cages allow you to wear normal shoes. So its down to personal preferance I guess.
Time Atacs seem to be the most popular clippless chioce on here though.
