Get some, you won't go back. Too much power and control is gained through being clipped in, after the first few miles in central you should be used to unclipping and have no problems with it.
As has already been said, I recommend your first set be MTB style shoes, I went with Specialized ones with a recessed cleat and semi-flexible sole so I could walk around in them/not have to take shoes to uni. They've lasted 2 years and are still very strong.
Oh, and I went with SPD, but following a knee injury I've been told Time will be better for float.
