I have the M540s on my Trek hybrid and use Specialized Taho shoes. I've been very pleased with the combination. The older Tahoe shoes I have (not the Sport model) are very comfortable. Their only drawback seems to be that they are a little heavy. Not sure if that applies to the Sport or not. I think dual sided pedals are the way to go for commuting. They are way easier to get into than my Shimano PD-A520 single sided pedals on my road bike (similar to Shimagnolo's experience). I also recommend the Shimano Multi Release SPD cleats. I do find the A520s to be more supportive on longer rides due to the small platform, but it is a pain to be frequently kicking them around to click in.
