Good pedals for Clyde's?

Hey! I'm looking for some good pedals for my road bike. Preferably not too expensive but I need ones that can support my weight (about 95kg). Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks

I bought some of these last year. I like them, platform on one side and spd on the other. I'm 5'11" and 290-330. They still perform well for me. I am always window shopping for better, but can't really talk myself into it, before losing weight.

Well, I'm about 106 kg, and have ridden Speedplays for years (including when I was probably 20 kg heavier). Love them - easy in / out, comfortable, and with the coffee-shop covers on the cleat, the shoes are not unreasonable to walk it. Sidi Genus shoes.
