I have mostly crank brothers and a few Look deltas.
(go some celeste pedals for my Bianchi and can't imaging it without them)

Never had a problem with either.

Deltas-
Never had a problem walking in deltas.
Used rubber cleat covers for store stops on long rides.
Sometimes delayed me removing the cover then playing catch up.

Crank-
Many pedal options.
Rode an century on eggbeaters with sidi dominators. (felt the spindle the last 20 or so miles.)
Changed to candys for longer rides.
That little platform made all the difference in the world on the longer rides and never noticed foot pressure.

Haven't tried the mallets yet but seem like another good option.

I like the different pedal options for the same cleat.

When I put on new cleats I test with eggbeaters for cleat position.
feeling that spindle under my foot makes for a good guide.

Ride what feels right, don't be a slave to fashion.
