Cages are pretty close to as efficient in the scheme of things, they are just a PITA if you are riding through a lot of traffic lights where you are taking a foot in and out over and over. They are nice because you get to wear whatever shoes you want.
I wear 14s as well and didn't have too bad of a time tracking down shoes. I personally like them WAY better for various reasons. I'd have to leave my cages pretty loose for commuting, so they weren't super useful for the upstroke. Bike shoes (good ones) are really stiff, so also quite efficient. But mostly not having to flip my pedal back over every time I started off from a red light was by far the greatest benefit. I personally would never go back to cages.
I found my shoes at Ridley's.
