I have M520s and SPDs for my commute (as it involves a bit more walking than I'd like to do in my road pedals) and Ultegra SPD-SL pedals for longer rides.
SPD-SL is a good system (imo) and the pedals can be had for reasonably cheap if you don't mind 2nd hand (got two sets on eBay with two barely used pairs of cleats for about £18 all in - one set of pedals were Ultegra (bit scuffed, but otherwise sound) and one set lower in the shimano heirarchy (forget the model number). I got a set of R75 shoes to go with all that, which are ok, but withhindsight I'd spend a bit more.
