Single sided spuds? Why? Just get the same double sided spuds you like
on your other bikes and thumb your nose at the roadies. I like the
classic ****mano, Ritchey, and Wellgo stuff that runs 50USD and under.

That said, if you're gonna compromise on a road bike, get road shoes
and some Look style pedals. Grab an online sale, and you can both can
be yours for a hundred to try out. The stiffness and feel difference
from spd is pretty amazing, though I don't know if it's really more
efficient. Feels pretty cool, though. That's if you've got a spare
hundred bucks, if not--go for classic spuds and ignore the hype.
