I LOVE my Speedplay Zero's.
1) Never had a problem with the pedal size even while standing.
2) Float was a little weird at first but got used to it very quickly.
3) I've had dirt and dust in them and haven't really had a problem. I keep a large paper clip on the velcro strap on my shoe to use just in case I need to dislodge any dirt or mud, or even gum... can't clip in with gum on the cleat!
4) I've got probably about 3500 miles on one pair of cleats and don't really feel they need to be replaced yet. I use the cleat covers, but not religiously. I also lube the cleats every couple of rides. The metal on the cleat bottom has gotten quite scratched up and the cleat sometimes slides on the pavement when I put my foot down at a stop so I have to be really careful.
5) Never clipped out accidentally while pedaling. They have unclipped when I've crashed or fallen.
