Not sure why your LBS doesn't like Crank Bros pedals. I race and I use Quattro's. I love them. Dual sided entry, nice sized platform, very secure when pedaling - yet easy to get out of, the cleats are cross compatible - so if you use more than one bike you can use the mt style pedals with the road cleats and vice versa - you can use your mt bike shoes with your road pedals. (comes in handy in the winter - I wear my mt. bike shoes that are warmer and more water resistant all winter long)
oh - I think roadies have tended to not want to use mt. bike pedals because of 1. tradition 2. they are often heavier 3. they have smaller platforms - traditional wisdom says you want a bigger platform for better power transfer/ less chance of hot spots on the bottom of your foot.
