I have never used any other clipless pedal, however I feel qualified, after over ten years of use, to say Speedplay Frogs, hands down! I believe these are the only pedals on the market which do not require you to overcome any spring force to release...and as the cleat wears down, release actually becomes easier instead of more difficult, a la SPDs. And getting into them is super easy, and they don't clog with dirt easily, and the have grease ports for easy maintenance. Among the best 130 bucks I've ever spent.
