I have no experience with LOOK or Speedplay - I went for SPDs with mountain-style pedals (dual sided) at the recommendation of the guy helping me decide. He asked me several questions before even letting me look at shoes and pedals, explained the pros and cons of the different styles, and made recommendations based on my answers (not racing, want to be able to walk around in a convenience store if needed, don't want to have to think about which side of the pedal is up, etc). I love my shoe-pedal combo.
But I will share my lovely road rash! When I I started with my pedals, I was unclipping right, but ended up falling left a few times and really, it didn't feel that comfortable. I was always very nervoud about it.
So I took a Beginners clinic for women and the cycling coach suggested I unclip left and leave my right clipped in. This was the result of practicing making that change.
