I've never ridden on any other system than crank bros - they were what I started with. I had a set of stainless eggbeaters and bought a pair of candy SL's a few years back. I love having that little extra platform for working some technical. I love the fact that the system is simple, low profile, and sheds mud & grit easily.

On this system, I've never had any WTF clipouts. While I do not race, I have never broken a pair. You can get some great deals on them on EBAY.
