OK, that helps.
If you're going to be doing some walking, then I would recommend mountain-bike pedals/clips because the cleat design is often better suited to walking (smaller, harder wearing etc.)
On this forum it seems like Time Atac and Shimano SPDs are the most popular options.
Personally, I'd go for the Shimanos, but a lot of people swear by the Time's. (search for the thread on this).
Remember - Road shoes are not compatible with MTB shoes or vice versa, so those Nikes are out of the question.
Also, if you're doing walking, I wouldn't get an out and out race shoe as it'll be very stiff and uncomfortable (unless you don't mind this!)
So... I'd look at options without a Carbon sole.
What sort of feet do you have? Wide? Narrow?
Sidi - narrowish
Shimano - in the middle
Northwave - wider
Is my opinion (others probably differ).
In the past I've got on very well with Shimano and Northwave, having found Sidi too narrow.
Hope that helps.
