I've used a few different of those parallelogrammy V8 style ones and never really loved them. Always seem a bit bulky and shin-gouge-y.
Been using some MKS "Step-in" for a few years, bought initially as I was using Time Atacs for about town duties, but I've just been using the flat side for ages now, really like them. Single sided is a bit of a pain, but they are just nice.
Wear regular shoes - mostly leather Palladiums in winter, hi-top Vans in summer. But I don't like to wear my fancy ones as the pedals nibble bits out of the soles... Those tougher looking Vans with the slightly lugged soles look pretty good.
