Power Grips......what pedal combo works best??

I've just bought some horrizontal Power Grip straps and I'm wondering if many people use them and with which pedals?
Ive had re-straps (these were good but I found bmx pedals a bitch to flip and get into at times, not really a fan of how they look ither tbh)
Tried cages, they were ok, easy to get into but I'm quite hard on the pedals and I dont like the cage digging into my toes. plus I have some toe overlap on my bike and I cant get my foot outa the way sometimes like I can with straps.
The Power Grips appear (in theory) to have both benefits, flipable and no toe restriction.

however I'm not sure what style pedal to get, some mtb pedals look ideal with the little flippers underneath like cage pedals, but these seam to have a small narrow platform for your feet.

Any suggestions?? Anyone using these straps?? sorry about the essay^ :P

Never used those kind of straps but MKS GR9 are easy enough to flip and pretty solid. Bit narrow tho.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
