From what I have read on the forums, I am thinking about
getting eggbeaters and using MTB shoes, simply because
I've only heard good things about those pedals, and I
prefer the styling and 'walkability' of most MTB shoes.

Has anybody tried this combination on your commuter set-ups?
Which particular eggbeater/ MTB shoe combo would you recommend?
My main concerns are comfort and ease. I couldn't give a d@mn about 'performance'.
Hmm.....Most inexpensive way to go is SPD. I used SPD for awhile and they were fine. I used LooK before that. I commute, MTB, Road bike, SS/Fixie and have two recumbents. One is a commuter tourer and the other is an all out performance bike. I commute on the recumbents, the fixie/ss and the roadie. I have EggBeaters on all of them. They are easy to maintain and virtually bulletproof.
