There's nothing wrong with SPDs, especially the more expensive models, although little real gain above XT level at best.
Each type of clipless pedal has a slightly different feel to both engagement and release so there are some you will get on with and some you may not. If you are happy with the cleat mechanism and release I'd stay with SPDs.
For what it's worth, I've used
For MTB use and general commuting I don't think you can beat Time, IMO, with Shimano SPD as a close second. I still use Speedplay Zero as my road bike pedal system, but they are less convenient around town where you may want to walk around the pub or a shop so MTB style shoes are much more practical. I'll never use Crank Bros pedals again. My Candys were fine on the commute bike, but they (or at least the bearings) just aren't sufficiently robust for off road use and I want the same pedal system for commuting and moutain biking so Time it is.
HTH.
