Probably already been said a few times....

Where is comes to on bike comfort and stability for my (foot) I prefer my Shimano 105's. The ONLY thing I don't care for with them is there is almost no float. Very secure fit, nice click, and a big platform for the bottom of your foot which, according to shoe selection may or may not matter.

Where is comes to convenience and the ability to walk around while out riding, I prefer Egg Beaters. They are simple to get in, have good float, and offer (the choice of) a shoe from very stiff competitive type bottoms to sandals, according to your desire. The only aspect of them I don't like is, and particularly in respect to my prosthesis, they are not a solid enough "click in" that I feel secure standing and pedalling (just for that side). I also prefer the ease of release with them as opposed to the 105.

For my beater social ride bike I use platforms based on the DX style.
