I only ride road bikes but I use Speedplay Frogs (MTB pedals). That is a conscious decision on my part. I tour on my bike, and I prefer recessed cleats. I switched to Frogs many, many years ago, and I see no reason to switch. I use Sidi Dominator shoes - which are just as stiff as their road shoe.

Of course, I'm old enough that I really don't care what other people think about my choice... My recommendation is that you should use the shoe/pedal system that feels right to you.
