Op, I was in the same situation you were and coul;dn't decide between which to get. After reading a bunch of reviews I went with Ultegras. I mainly did this because:
1.) A lot of people complain about Looks cleats squeaking (haven't had issuses with me spd-sl.
2.) (not a Lance fan) But knowing how Lance can be picky very particulair about his gear.... if they work for him then they will work for me.
FWIW, I have Ultegras on my race bike and 105's on my beater bike. I bought them both at Probikekit. $80. bucks for the Ultegras and $34. for 105's.
