I bought Shimano M515's for both my road and MTB. THey are around $50, I can't forsee any reason to replace them in a year. They are the SPD type pedals. I also bought Answer Pallisade shoes. I bought all the above online which will help save a lot of money. The pedals I got from pricepoint.com, and I forget where I ordered the shoes from. You can get both for just under $100 online.
