Bike shoes are expensive and so I've only worn the one pair.... I bought Sidi Blazes not terribly long ago. I adore them.

I love my Sidis.
For MTB I use women's Dominator 5's with SPD pedals. On the RB I use women's Genius 5's with Look Keo pedals. I'm very happy with both, although I do need to wear them with thick socks because I'm sort of between sizes.
Dominators and Genius shoes both come with the Ultra SL buckle -- the ratcheting thingie that others have mentioned on the thread. I really like that I can make precise adjustments to the top strap, even while I'm riding, and I do this frequently. But my first bike shoes were the three velcro variety (Sidi Bullets), and I sorta miss not having that buckle thing sticking out there.
I recently saw the 2007 catalog and the women's colors are *gorgeous*. Genius 5 in red with silver straps, Sidi Zetas in a pearly white, Genius 5.5 in CSC colors (white with red and silver accents), and Dominator 5's in a dark metallic blue. If you liked last year's colors, snatch them up (on sale!) before they're gone, and if you didn't, you'll have lots of options to choose from now.
