Pros
rebuildable, mud shedding design, adjustable tension, easy to clip in and out.
Cons
When you set the tension to the lowest, you can accidentally clip out of the pedal.
Review
I use this in combination with the multi release cleats(SH56) and set the pedal to the lowest tension. Never fell off the bike even as a first time clipless user. really easy to clip in and out of. i might adjust the tension a little bit harder to minimize accidental clipping out.
would recommend this pedal in combination of the multi release cleats if you're a beginner.
BTW, this pedal would require an 8MM allen wrench to install.

Pros
The ability to adjust the tightness! Love these!
Cons
I was unable to unclip a couple times and fell pretty hard, this could be due to my lack of experience with this type of pedals or they could be too tight.
Review
Get these, they are awesome!

None.
Review
I'd buy these again. Not Shimano's top of the line, but I don't notice.

Easy to clip in, even when packed with mud or ice.
Cons

Review
I have used these pedals on my past two bikes and will continue. Solid, reliable pedals.

Pros
This is the epitome of a standard quality/standard price procuct. Nothing fancy or bling, just solid performance in most conditions. Long-lasting and trouble-free.
Cons
Heavier than most clipless. Retains mud.
Review
These came with my first bike. When I bought my next bike, I upgraded. After going through a few pedals, all of which seemed to have some annoying idiosyncrasies, I eventually came back to these un-sexy, but dependable old standbys.
Pros
Tuff! Adjustable spring tension, Ease of use.
Cons
None.
Review
I really like these pedals. I have mine on the minimum setting, so I can dab a foot if needed. This is the only clipless pedal I've used. No complaints here.

Pros
Easy in, easy out...
Cons
They are difficult to clean, back in by the spring.
Review
They are a very hardy and reliable pedal. The platform is large enough to allow a rider to keep pedaling. even with a failed attempted clip-in.
Pros
Very Durable
Mud resistant
lots of adjustability
Cons
Design, odd shape...
NONE
Review
Great for Experienced Riders cause they can tune it right to the mark of what they want. Works with the many shimano parts.

Pros
Simple design, rugged, great at shedding mud.
Cons
A bit boring, especially compared to the Crank Bros stuff.
Review
These are solid pedals and they continue to hold up well after virtually zero maintenance over the past 3 years.
