Folding/removable pedals?

I picked up my first folding bike recently, a Bike Friday New World Tourist, and I'd like either folding or easily removable pedals for it. I was hoping to get some advice as to what works (and what doesn't) and where to buy since they're not that readily available. I happen to be a fan of MKS pedals but I can be talked into buying something else. Also I'm not looking for clipless since I want to be able to run any shoe with the pedals. This is what I see so far:

(1) MKS FD 7. Easy to find in a lot of mail order places and cheaper than some other options. Not the best platform for pedaling though.

(2) MKS Allways, "Ezy superior/rinko." Rene Hearse has them but I don't see them elsewhere (maybe a eBay vendor has them).

(3) MKS Lambda Ezy superior. Same mechanism but different platform than the allways. I see them on eBay and vendors out of the US as well.

Any preferences on these? Should I look at a different make of pedal? Where is a good place to buy them? I do not a flat pedal and I'm leaning towards the bmx style (Allways/Lambda) as I use that style on my MTB and road bikes and like them.
