I find that R550s are the sweet spot, and they come with cleats. I have Ultegra pedals also, but honestly can't tell the difference when riding.
What's so much better about composite pedals that Shimano deserted alloy ones entirely? They just look like cheap plastic from China (or sometimes like expensive plastic from China) to me...
