Pros
Great if you want to have clipless and still use street shoes. Strong, Easy in/out, and you can unclip for technical parts and still have good footing. The eggbeater clips allow mud to be pushed through so that it doesn't pack in. Cleans much easier.
Cons
Heavy. When riding without clipping it you tend to roll a little.
Review
I'd recommend this for those that may ride their bikes on campuses or the like, without needing specialize shoes.

Pros
Large platform, easy in and easy out, sexy looking
Cons
The paint/color on the platform is wearing already!
Review
These are my first clipless pedals so I have nothing to compare them to. But, I have NO intention of ever going without these again! Just ordered some Candy's for my road bike!

Pros
The best for All Mountain riding. Sometimes I feel like unclipping on some technical parts and can do this with these pedal. Best of both worlds.
Cons
Takes some getting used too.

Pros
Goos stability, comfortable not clipped in, really nice exit.
Cons
Don't get that "click" every time I clip in.
Review
I bought them mainly because I want to unclip when I come across some gnarly terrain and they work well unclipped, so I'm happy with them. But the best best thing with these is the exit. Compared to my Shimanos, the exit is super smooth and natural. Like I said though, I sometimes don't hear that "snap" clipping in, leaving me a bit weary and having to pull up just to make sure I'm in. Seems to be only on my left foot too...? I also like the stability of the larger pedal. The weight is not an issue for me.
Pros
Nice to have a platform w/ clipless
Cons
A little heavy
Review
Best of both worlds unless you're a weight wennie.

Pros
Reliable release.
Reliable hold.
Excellent platform when unclipped.
Usable platform with street shoes.
Cons
Somewhat vague feeling when clipping in.
Slightly uncomfortable and ever so slight tendency to roll due to the eggbeater when wearing street shoes.
Review
Highly recommend for anyone wanting to swing both ways. Platform is very grabby when running unclipped, eggbeater holds reliably - I've yet to have an accidental unclip, which I cannot say for the shimanos I ran prior to these, and I've also not slipped off unclipped with my cleated shoes.
A HUGE improvement over the shimano's I used to run.
