On my IGH commuter I have platform/SPD Wellgo's from Performance, they have worked well for 3 years and survived several cage-bending pedal strikes, some report they don't last but that has not been my experience:

I have the Shimano M324, similar to the Wellgos only much better quality, I would buy them instead of the Wellgos today (and I did when I needed a set for my Pugsley).

Advantage of the platform/SPD pedals is there's always a surface to put one's foot on, not the case with toe-clips or single sided road pedals. I also like them for when I don't have my SPD shoes/sandals on and want to take a quick ride to lunch or run an errand.

I also have a set of A520's on my road bike, they are like having old fashion toe-clips, one has to be good a flipping the pedal to the correct side, it can be distracting on the street.
