Which pedals and why?

I've just discovered one of my pedals is cracked, so I'm in the market for some new ones.

I've been riding Time RXS carbons for a couple of years, but should I stick with a straight replacement, or go with something different? What would you all recommend and why?

Cheers.

    Everyone will just recommend their own preferred pedal systems. If you are happy with Time, I don't understand why you would want to change.

    Because if I'm about to spend over £100 of my hard earned, I want some opinion on what people think. I'm happy with a Dairy Milk bar, but I prefer a Galaxy. Unfortunately, pedals cost a bit more than chocolate bars, so need advice from others who ride different systems. I've not put up a poll asking what's you're favourite pedal, but why a pedal is a favourite. That way I can use opinion to inform my decision.

    i used speedplay zeros.

    i have size 46 shoes, but with the zeros i can easily set a very small inward
    float to avoid my feet hitting the chainstays but lots of outwards float
    which my knees appreciate.

    some people will hate the free float, though, and they aren't cheap.

    I run SPD-SL's on both bikes.
    So far thery've never let me down. All alloy body, good bearings, etc.
    A tad heavier than others, but totally reliable.
    I have thought of changing, mainly because of weight ( :oops: ) of pedals, but so far, no one has given me adequate reason to move to LOOK or Speedplay.
