That's exactly the combo I use. I have the SS Eggbeaters. They cost a pretty penny, but they look like they will last for years.
I've tried no-name spd's from wellgo. They really suck. They have bad bearings (actually, they simply use a sleave type bushing instead of a bearing) and wear out quickly, and they tend to not want to release if you don't keep the clip well oiled or greased.
Only problem is that you cannot use them without cycling shoes at all. But then, that's why you get mountain bike shoes, isn't it?
