I have eggbeaters. They were the ONLY cleats I could get out of w/o having to try to hard. Then, on a tour, I was "this close" to falling over at a last-minute-stop-because-of-stupid-driver-not-stopping-when-they-should-have and had more-or-less given up and prepared myself psychologically for the crash, when, instinct told my foot to be on the ground and it ended up on the ground and I did not crash. I would have crashed in my other pedals. I was forever sold on eggbeaters.
I was told by my LBS that Crank Bros makes the cleats softer so that the cleats, not the pedals, wear out. Pretty smart. So, when I tour, I just take along an extra pair of cleats and screws, just in case. They're small.
