+100. Speedplay X-series (road) or Frog (MTB but really good road pedals) pedals have no spring tension to overcome on release and have a ton of float so they are kind to sensitive knees. They are also double sided so you don't have to flip them over to enter and the Frog cleats work with recessed sole MTB shoes for easy off-the-bike walking.
