I love riding clipless - I've tried clips/straps on a friends bike briefly but never liked the idea.

I first ran Forte Campus pedals (platform/SPD) and then went to Eggbeaters - I recently broke a spring on my FG driveside eggbeater, but it'd done around 6000 miles and had broken while in pretty extreme cold (I had to leave the bike outside in the elements that day ) - no complaints and love them to bits.

I have had a couple of unwanted unclips - moreso with the SPDs and *really* worn cleats than anything else - I was accelerating out of the saddle from a light and had my right shoe unclip whilst in the process of giving it some beans, that wasn't pleasant...

I have popped out of the eggbeaters twice or three times, each time was an extreme where I yanked my foot at a weird angle and it popped out - it's never happened in a time of need with the eggbeaters.
