@C.B.
having just gone from clips and straps to clippless i would say:
clipless is better but only just. and really only because i used to get blisters on my toes with clips. the benfit of riding in any shoe or at least an easily walkable shoe is great. I now ride look keo cleats and while they feel amazing to ride in i get fed up with stumbling up stairs and worrying about wearing the cleat down. MTN bike shoes would solve that but the are still hardly attractive or practicle shoes. clips are great if you want a bike you can easily ride a few miles on and get to the pub and not bother chainging.
You say you ride 100 miles a week my guess on a commute if i am correct go clippless cause you will probs have to change your shoes when you get to work any way.
