Neither Eggbeaters nor Candies have any float. There are two release angles depending on how you set up the cleat - 15 or 20 degrees - and both pedals not only take the same cleat, they have the same clip in/clip out/release design.
What you may be calling "float" is the release angle or worn cleats. Try changing your cleats more often for less play between shoe and pedal.
The Candies are simply an Eggbeater with a platform around them.
I love both depending on the purpose. If I'm dealing with mud or snow, I want Eggbeaters. If I'm riding more technical dry trails where I may want to ride without clipping in, I want Candies.
I believe the shims are not to preserve the bottom of your shoe, but to provide more clearance if the lugs on your shoes are deep enough to prevent clipping in properly. If you don't want to use the shim, just grind away a bit of the lugs with a Dremel tool.
