my first piece of advice is to do some searchin' around this forum and that mtb review site and try and think about what features are important to you (easy clip in, price, "mud shedding" (whatever the heck that is), float, availability of replacement parts &c.) then choose your pedal system and ignore what everyone else has to say.
my second piece of advice is to get egg beaters -- if you don't you're skinny-panted hipster!
ignore my second piece of advice.
So maybe I'll rephrase- opinions on whats best for my needs? I just ride in the city, no offroading or anything crazy. The reason why I picked those shoes is because they look comfortable and they don't look like soccer cleats/ moon shoes as I will be wearing them quite a bit off the bike as well as on (commuting to school and work, grocery runs, etc.). So I guess whats most important is price and easy to clip in.
