I've also used both extensively on my bikes ( 2 sets of each!) and have settled on the GK's with the studs that rivendell sells. In wet weather both the GK's and MKS touring pedals performed rather poorly, but with just 4 studs per side on the GK's they turn in to great wet weather pedals. The studs are easy to install, no drill required; just line it up straight and screw em in.
Other than that I'd say the main difference is the shape. GK's are long front-to-back and narrow side-to-side, while the touring pedals are just the opposite. You might say this makes the GK's less desirable for wide feet or offroad conditions, but I have both those criteria and still prefer them to the tourers overall.
