Minimums vs Five Fingers or neither?

Right I'm a big unit that's fairly new to running this time around, back in the day I used to swear by Saucony and their cushioning. I was 18 stone at New Year and thought sod this, bought a new pair of running shows an went on a diet. Oh an also signed myself up to the Rat Race Dirty Weekend as motivation. I'm now 16.5 stone and 6 foot tall and want to shift at least another stone. I'm running in a pair of Adidas which aren't as cushioned as the old shoes but seem to feel better. I've also compared where I strike my foot in the 2 shoes which is different. This has led me to think should I now while I'm a newbie start training with a barefoot shoe either 5 fingers, minimus or something else to promote better form from the start or because I'm a big unit am I consigned to big shoes and bad form?
