Couldn't tell you but I don't think you can reasonably link one piece of equipment choice to another.
I think pedal choice is a lot more personal than brakes. This is because just about anyone can get used to a braking system but it's often easier and better to match pedal type to personal physiognomy. In this sort of situation that is a question better asked of the rider than a comparison of kit pros and cons.
If I were doing the GD then I would strongly consider packing flatplates or running doublesided SPD pedals to allow for options in the event of strain around the knee/ankle.
