Candies easier to get jammed with mud (if you happen to ride in wet cement...)
Otherwise, I think it's personal preference. I personally can't really tell the difference between the tiny platform on the Candys and the lack thereof on the Eggbeaters, so I take the lighter-weight less prone to jamming Eggies.
I run egg beaters on my hardtail and candys on my FS bike and I prefer the egg beaters... they are a lot easier to get into and you dont have to fool with the issue of shoe clearance.
I had a harder time clipping into the eggs. I think the platform on the candies helps line things up to clip in, but does little else. I run mallets when racing in the mtbmx races.
I have two pairs of Candies and one pair of Mallets.
I have a pair of Candies (thank Stosh) and love them so far on my XC. I'm trying to figure out if I want to buy another pair, buy egg beaters or just buy a different pair of shoes to put my shimano cleats on for my road bike.
Perhaps, I'll wander over to that forum. I've heard that running the same pedals on all your bikes is the best idea (any response to this?). I also heard that Egg Beaters can cause your foot to hot/irritated under the pedal because there isn't a platform to disperse the weight.

Personally, I'd try and run the same pedal - don't know if it is the "best" idea. Roadie bike might be the exeption, but I don't own one of those animals.
As far as the platform on the candies, I didn't notice them being any different than the eggs..its a pretty friggin wee platform. I guess it might depend on the shoe grip and stiffness.
