I just recently removed my SPD pedals and put on an old set of platforms that came with my Trek 1.5. They are the weak plastic body/metal cage pedals. My wife broke hers and I put the only set of fully metal platforms I had (the ones that came with my Hardrock originally).

The thing is, I want to get a decent set of pedals and I don't want to mess with the strap. I have Power Grips on my single speed Langster, but I just want to keep things simple on my commuter.

What do you look for in pedals? Is it size, weight, or what? I am just wanting something more comfortable and more robust.

Here are two that I was looking at:

Opinions?
