I have never had any of them problems with Speedplays.
Ahh. I spent my youth on a velodrome, so the tighter the pedals the better. I like the hanging upside down, as that puts them in the same position every time. You just have to learn a simple toe flip to get into them (just as easy as stomping on Speedplays in my experience). I'm not sure what you meant by "all the way down" and binding, but I hope I don't figure it out for myself any time
