For a pedal with a bit of a platform to them, I like the Time ATAC pedal. I like them a lot better than I did Shimano SPDs.
But you are better off staying clipped in, even at slow speeds, because you can pull on the upstroke. You'll get more comfortable at slower speeds as you gain experience, and you'll also (probably) be able to maintain a little higher speed as you gain experience. But if you could also check your gearing if you're struggling on hills and go to lower gear ratios.
