I love my Crank Brothers Mallet pedals. Excellent Eggbeater cleat system, but they've got a large platform that's comfortable in most street shoes. The advantage over the SPD combo pedals is that you don't have to try to kick the pedal around to the proper side when yo want to click in; you can do so from either side. The only disadvantage is that if you're wearing shoes with thin or flexy soles, like Chuck Taylors or something, you might feel a little bump where the Eggbeater part is. But like I said, with most shoes, they're comfy. I have 'em on my tourer/commuter and Candy SLs on my road bike (where the Mallets would look too huge), so I can use the same shoes on either ride.
