I've always used shimano SPD's on all my bikes as they are cheap, work well and it means only one pair of shoes. Is there any real benefit to road specific pedals?

Cheap shimano spd's will last an age and coupled with a good stiff soled shoe they should do the job. Spd sl's are really good and IMO are the way to go.

SL's for the road every time for me, clip in easy and feel like you have more contact than an MTB spd

the only thing about shimanos is no float? I like crank bros because of float.

Shimanos do have float, get the yellow cleats.

the Time's are good if you want float. I use the Atac ROC S on mtb's and cx and the RXS on road bike
