You don't want a pedal that fails in the middle of a ride (releases inconsistently...hard to release or releases too easily).
It's your choice. Choose wisely.
There's a bunch of hybrid Shimano pedals on Amazon I was looking at, these included. Though I thought they looked a bit small. Do you have any issue with them in that regard? Just curious.

The other Shimano pedals I was looking at were these two:

https://www.amazon.com/SHIMANO-clipl...6736941&sr=8-2

I should mention I'm also in WA state so in the chance I ride in the rain with regular shoes, I'd like something where my foot can get a solid grip with good contact points (like you mentioned)

The M 324 is what I suggested you get if you like that style pedal. No, it is not too small. At least for my feet.

I haven't used the two pedals you mentioned. Unless you have huge feet, all mentioned pedals are large enough for most people. I prefer to ride clipped in, but the platform on the m424 works with trail runners well when I'm making a trip for coffee or shopping, etc. I prefer double sided spd pedals (m424's) for simple clipping in and the lack of a flat platform has never been a problem.
