I've heard nothing but good things about the Time ATAC pedals. I think they have lots of float too.
From what I have always heard, Crank Brothers chose to make their cleats from brass on purpose. The notion is that the softer cleats will wear out faster, but will keep your pedals in good shape longer. I guess they figure its cheaper to replace cleats than pedals...However, I have no idea how well this philosophy works.
