the thrill

so I'm sure this debate has all but been beaten half to death... The pedals on my bike were just some beat up, laying around Halter's pieces of garbage they threw on because I complained that a $1200 bike didnt' have pedals... that being said, i'd like to replace mine. I'm just a casual rider at the moment but I've seen much about platform vs. clipless over and over and I'm not sure which route i'd like to go... I also don't want to break the bank on a set of pedals because I'm just a casual rider hoping that the mean trails and occasional late night road ride will help me shed this darn belly of mine...
I also notice that in the position I have my bike currently that my hands take a real beating from the amount of weight I have on them constantly... I have the saddle adjusted to where the balls of my feet touch the ground when i'm sitting on the bike but i'm not sure if i should move the saddle forward a little and ride a little more upright or what...
any suggestion from those that have ridden much longer than I have?? and yes, I ride a 29er mtb on the road sometimes... sorry
