Can't go wrong with 1/4 inch pyramid although I've always been partial to Ceramic Omni-Lite 1/4" Christmas Tree spikes in the color Olympic Gold (yeah, dreaming I know but that is what is in my shoes).

If you are taking shoes, I have yet to find a pair I liked as much as the 2003 nike LJ's. (does Jeff Hartwig still wear these?)
I know that you can use the search feature and find several threads about spikes, basically if money is no object, most name brand jump spikes are good and if you want to save some bucks go with a cheap mid-distance spike as it will work just as well for less money.
or if you are the best in the world you can just ask nike for some that match your uniform

but seriously, I use Mizuno TJ/PV spikes and I love 'em! They're sturdy and quick, with an awesome spike plate that makes you want to rock onto your toes as you run.
yeah i like the spary paint idea lol j/k, i am thinking about getting those reebok spikes that are white and yellow, has anybody tried those?
