I wear 13's, and I have similar issues. The BMX pedals I've tried have a nice "platform" but no grip, at least with the ones I've tried (they were cheapies, though.).
MKS makes a pedal called the Lambda/King Grip that may be worth looking at.
Oh, combined with a flat soled shoe, like 5.10 impacts, or something like a pair of vans, the grip with bmx pedals is excellent. I downhill mountain bike with 5.10 shoes and bmx pedals. They stick like glue. The pedals just don't work as well if combined with a shoe with lugs, since the pins have a harder time gripping the rubber. With this type of shoe you are probably right, that rat traps would work better. But I'm not looking to get new pedals, I'm just trying to see if there is a DIY solution to making my current shoes work so I don't have to buy something new. If I decide it's a bad idea I'll just buy a pair of vans or adidas sambas for commuting.
I've been curious about the grip king pedals, they do seem nice.
Those ergon pedals are interesting, they are so ugly though!
