Your needs dictate which is best. But here are some considerations to help you decide:
- Lighter weight is always preferable (but may not matter unless you are into long distance or competitive riding).
- dual side SPD pedals allow you to always clip in easily, while platform/spd combo style provide the main advantages of clipless pedals but also allow riding with non cleated shoes, BUT are a bit harder to get into with cleated shoes than dual side style pedals.
- sealed bearings are preferable.
- adjustable tension allows you to set release tension for what works for you.
To most people the dual side pedals would be the better choice for the dedicated road cyclist and the platform/spd style the better choice for a commuter or casual cyclist. I have no idea which group you fall into but I hope this makes your choice easier.
