I have Shimano Dura Ace and R-540 pedals, I like them.
Want to try Speedplay.
Had Ultegra SPD, liked them for their easy set up.

Speedplay Light Action. Perhaps too much play, (10-15 degrees I think) but I really like them.

Look Keo Sprints. Gray cleats, 4.5° of float. Good stuff.
What kind of riding will you be doing, hodie21?

I went from Speedplay to Ultegra 6620 and couldn't get enough float even with the 6 degrees of float cleats. Went back to Speedplay Light Action.

Had the R-540. Worked okay clipping out but a pain (for me at least) clipping in from a stop. Now on Light Action and love them. Worth the extra cost to me, especially when I'm crossing busy highways and can get quickly clipped in.

Shimano SPD-SL. I have the Ultegra PD-6620.
I have SPD pedals too, but I prefer the SLs.

I ride Crank Bros. Quattros, but they aren't making them anymore.
