Shimano XT's SPD pedals. I like more float in the pedal for a fixed gear bike. I also found that when I crossed the 50 year old mark that SPD pedals were a lot easier on my knees than road pedals so I put SPD's on all my road bikes. Have not had any knee pain for years since I started using them.

My first pair of road pedals were quill pedals with toe straps and black leather Detto Pietro's with cleats. Man that setup made my knees ache even when I had them properly run-in and adjusted. Road Looks through the 80's and 90's 2,000's and still my knees would ache after long rides. When I went to SPD's pain is gone.
