If you're not pot committed (i.e. you have another bike with SPD pedals), I would recommend checking out Crank Bro's type pedals. I use the Candys on my commuter and the egg-beaters on my mountain bike. They're a fair bit easier to get in and out of than SPD style. You just kinda roll you foot over them to clip in and there's no resistance to overcome when clipping out.
