Sidi Dominators on various SPD pedals.

PowerTap P1 pedals. Quick and easy to swap between trainer and outdoor bikes.

Wore my original Look Keo classic's out after about 10 years of use and upgraded to the Keo 2 max's last year for the steel plate. For my mountain bike, I like riding the Candy 2 eggbeaters. I have also ridden SPD and SPD-SL

On my road bike: Speedplay Frog Ti. Have the bike shop re-lube them every year. Never a problem. Pure awesomeness.

I've been a big fan of the Big Muff Pi for vintage stuff, especially old Pink Floyd, but have really been enjoying the Electro-Harmonix East River Drive (tube screamer clone)....
I use 5700's on my bike right now. Happy for the past 3-4yrs with 'em.

Lighter yes, but your shoe now carries all the weight from the heavier cleat...I'd say at the end of the day, the weight is a toss up, unless you're just into weighing the bike and taking pictures of the scale.
I originally tried them because of the weight and the dual sided entry, but I personally like the larger platform of the SPD-SL pedals.

Look Keo carbons, Powertap P1 on the race bikes and just flat pedals on the city bike.

They're fantastic! That's what I'm rocking right now!
If you're in need of extra cleats, you can pick the 0 float ones on amazon for $10.

None of my shoes worked and by the time you added the cleats to the shoes, the weight loss of the pedals was quickly negated. Of course the P1s are over 400g so I completely tossed the idea of saving grams on pedals.

I use time xpresso for weight savings. If not for that I'd be using the dura ace pedals. My understanding is they're pretty much trouble free and have a great platform.

Shimano spd-sl 5800. Maybe one of the biggest bang for the buck carbon pedals.

I've met others who swear by Eggbeaters and put them on all their bikes. But I agree with #34. Mountain pedals are an exercise in compromise.

The advantages to Speedplay are the lighter weight (or not heavier weight than other platforms), typically better maintainability, higher float and dual sided entry, wider range of q-factor options, ability to tailor pedal platform better for bike fit. if those are important characteristics, then that's the reason to buy speedplay. if those are not important then after that most of the pedal systems are simply a matter of personal taste with very little difference between them.
