All SPDs at this point, though I've tried too many kinds to count. XTs or XTRs on the commuter and dirt road bike, Dura Ace SPDs on the gofast.
I actually like clips 'n' straps 'n' slotted cleats, particularly with the wonderfully well made MKS RX-1 pedals and their anniversary UBS Lite (MKS has some very weird nomenclature; I had a pair of cheap but very nice "Esprit" pedals) but since I ride even the gofast on the occasional dirt road, the SPDs work better. I found that entry and exit was considerably easier with slotted cleats and sem-tight straps than with KEOs. I find I need retention since I pull my foot off the pedal (or out of the shoe back when I wore slip-ons and clips / straps). I recall the early days of clipless pedals, when all sorts of new designs were being tried -- Grafton, Sampson are 2 I used; that weird one that consisted of a spindle with bearings and roller over the spindle, and "claw" cleats to grip the roller. Lightest pedal on market, though. Patrick Moore, who is also on a second pair of very retro, 1980s Shimano SPD shoes (thanks again to the donor!) -- most comfortable I've worn.
