@Aches and pains - who are you talking to about this? It sounds like you're either getting the hard sell or you're talking to a die hard roadie.
SPDs are good pedals and offer a range of shoes to attach your cleats to.
The only difference is the float on the cleat i.e how much you can rotate your foot. This affects the comfort and efficiency of pedalling.
If I were you I'd stop deliberating and try something out. You can only base so much of a decision on rhetoric and if you're upgrading from straps or flats, anything will be a big improvement.
