I've been using the Crank Brothers double shot pedals for a while and really like them. The platform is nice for me, and the clip-in side is as good as any other brand I've tried.
Crank Brothers are kind of like the forgotten brother of clip in pedals. I only tried them because my friend used to get a discount. Since then, I've found that I can often find great deals on barely-used pedals. I think people try them, but move back to SPD; probably because the rest of their bikes use SPD. So I've picked up Candy, Egg Beater, and Double Shot pedals for very good prices. I recently got a set of Double Shot 3 pedals. I had only used the Double Shot 1 up until then. The 3 series fees MUCH nicer to me. I will also add that the Egg Beater style of pedal has been my favorite version of clip-in pedals. You can clip in from any angle. Insertion and removal feels very smooth. Everything is rebuildable. And they are one of the lighter pedal systems... if you care about that. Good luck!
