I like Looks, and use the older models on all my bikes, so I can use the cheaper cleats, etc.
My second choice would be SPD's, but single sided, since they're so light.
I learned about 1987 or so that it's very hard to go toe-toe with a bottle-throwing redneck while wearing bike cleats, especially the Looks. Fortunately, he took it outside to the gravel. Much easier then. There became a point where the hard soles and solid Look cleat was very handy.
I've outgrown that, or at least the opportunity hasn't presented itself, but I'm much more careful about road rage when riding. And rednecks are better armed.
I still prefer the Looks.
