Park is great because they are reasonably economical (compared to some brands), good quality, been around forever it seems, and made in the U.S.A.

Also, I really don't like it when manufacturers don't provide the 15mm faces for removing pedals the traditional way (from the outside), although it is happening more and more. Not only do you have to buy a new tool, but it can be a little hairy removing pedals from the inside of the crankarm--very easy to bang your knuckles on chainrings, for example. Don't ask me how I know this.
