I picked up a used pair of M9000 pedals at the co-op. New bearings and grease, and ohh, they're sweet pedals.
Easy clip in/out, and holds the shoes tight.
I think the M9100 are supposed to be even slightly better.

There are a couple of brands that add some soul to road shoes.
Lake comes to mind. Some stiff lightweight carbon fiber shoes with just enough soul to be sweet to use.
