Been riding inexpensive Wellgo SPDs for many years.
Shimano and Nike shoes (size 49) when on sale.
Wanted Coombes, but alas, the finest pedal ever is no more.
So my next pedals will likely be BeBops (bebop.com)
Even if you only ride road and therefore decide on road pedals, slipping around the coffee shop floor on platforms isn't fun.

HA! For you guys. - I live in Austin so I think that there were a lot of UT fans wishing for Tech to beat Missouri. Saturday morning I rode in the Outlaw 100, a local tour through small country towns surrounding the Austin area. At the beginning of the ride I met a lot of fellow Tech alumni wearing beautiful Red Raider cycling jersies. I felt very proud but not very confident that we would beat MO.

Missouri has won 13 of its last 14 at home.
The scoring total was a season low for Texas Tech (6-2, 2-2), which entered the game first in points (50) and yards (582) per game. Missouri scored on its first four possessions of the second half to top its 40-point average.

I started riding clipless pedals when TIME pedals were all the rage. They were supposed to be the best biomechanically designed pedals, but sort of faded away. I went with the least expensive SPDs at the time, mainly due to the fact that I had to walk during some of my rides (I was truly out of shape). I still ride SPDs on my mountain bike. For the road bike(s), I've found the LOOK pedals to be better. I don't dismount to walk any more (even though I am heavier and fatter), have covers for the cleats when I walk into the coffee shop at the end of the ride, and most importantly: the large platform on the LOOK style pedal eliminates the 'hot spots' on the bottom of the foot during riding.
Finally, any amount of float will preserve your knees. I'd suggest buying a set of LOOK pedals (not the Keo), as they are very good and less expensive.

I wear SIDI Genius shoes and think they were worth every penny (the most expensive shoes I own are cycling shoes). I had tried others, but these are far ahead of the others I tried.
I was lucky and found Dura-Ace SPD-SLs for half price. They've been great after three years. No hot spots like with the MTB SPDs I was riding.
