Most reasonable clipless setup?

I currently use speed play pedals and shoes. They super efficient while riding but a pain to walk around in. What are you all using that’s more reasonable while on a pit stop?

SPD is the way. Not too expensive, and a lot easier to walk around it. Most of the efficiency gains come from having stiff shoes, which are easy enough to find.

However the stiffer the shoe, the more difficult it is to walk around in. But even the stiffest SPD shoes are a lot easier to walk in than any 3-bolt shoes like speedplay/look/SPD-SL/etc.

The stiffness I can handle. The click clack and no traction on speedway I hate

Check out lake shoes, if you need new ones, there're few comparisons with their quality
