Bought some Holdfasts despite the price and really like them. Feel super secure and give you lots of power on the upstroke. Also add a bit more clearance for toe overlap without the cages. Switched from double straps and clips. I run them with $8 plastic Haro Smallblock BMX pedals which I really like. Deep concave, light and big platform without being too wide. I do think they're expensive but well made.
