On the 62cm Steamroller it's Time Atacs screwed into Miche Primato cranks at 175mm. I run 700x32 tires so nicking my pedals rarely happens. oh yeah, 49x19 with 1/8in chain.
The 59cm steamroller has Time Atac Aliums in 170mm SuginoRD. This bike has bigger knobby tires for gettin ig'nint and thusly I run 38x17.
No complaints and many smiles.

I just ordered an ultegra road double and a 105BB, and while i'm scared stiff that it won't make a straight chainline or just won't fit on my bike- i'm fairly confident that it should be prettty sweet. My pedals are pretty boring...

Sugino 75 / MKS Track Pedals / Toshi Double Straps.
Very good combo, however with 170's I have had the bottom of the pedal scrape the ground on very tight / sharp turns. Haven't fallen as a result of it yet though.

Sugino 75 + eggbeaters on my daily rider; probably switch out to ATACs, now that the pedals have developed quite a bit of play.
Pre 67 Campy Pista cranks (151 BCD) + Campy Pista pedals, Clips, Cinelli laminated straps on the weekend bike.

I use various different track/bmx rings from the LBS I work at and if I can find an ISIS 144bcd crank, I can throw on a Campy Nuovo Record (if that ever came in Pista, otherwise it is just Record pista) ring which was mysteriously laying there amidst a pile of NOS track stuff.
