I'm still tinkering with the bike to figure out which I like better . I like the eggbeaters because they are so versatile, but I've also had a few hangups trying to get clicked in after waiting on a light. The speedplays are practically idiot proof and provide a better platform but as I understand it they're more of a strict road pedal. Thankfully the rest of the bike is awesome so I only have this minor issue to ponder over.
