It doesn't really matter. The CrankBros EggBeater pedals are just like the Candys without any platform at all, just the shaft and the clips. As long as the platform isn't rotating around and annoying you by hitting against your shoe, there's no real downside.

I use Candys because they work well on the rare occasion I grab a bike without having cleats on; otherwise I'd just have the EggBeaters.
