I've used shimano spd, time atac, and many different crank brothers pedals. I recommend getting the stainless steel crank brothers Candy. The crank brothers pedals are the easiest to get in and out of, but I never clip out unintentionally. The cleat is the smallest of the three, and least likely to scrape the ground when you walk. The small platform on the candies make them a little more stable than the plain eggbeaters.
