Just saying "have" will be the most common. Saying "have got" indicates more urgency or seriousness -- that you "have got" to do something because there is some very important reason.
For example, if I say, "I have to go to the store." it normally does not sound very urgent. But if I say, "I have GOT to go to the store," it indicates there's a very important reason you need to go soon, such as you are completely out of food or something like that.
