Quickest Release Cleats?

I've got a pair of Crank Brothers Mallet C combination egg beaters and flats
pedals.
I've been using the provided cleats that came with.

I'm assuming that I can use Shimano cleats with them and would be interested
in getting a set if they would allow faster release than the supplied Crank
Brothers cleats. I've read that the Shimano multi-release are the easiest to
get out of.

I like cleats - I just don't like falling off the bike and being unable to
release.

Incorrect assumption. If you want to use Shimano cleats you need Shimano
pedals. Just keep practicing you'll get the hang of it.

Oh and check to see if the sole of your shoe isn't hanging up on the
platform part of the Mallet. That may be what is giving you trouble.

The directions that came with my Egg Beater pedals says: "use only Egg
Beater cleats"

I assume that I can't use Shimano cleats.

Thanks for the feedback.

I can get into and out of of the Mallets much better than the Shimano pedals
that I'm used to - either SPD or SPD-R.
I'm just scare of falling of and not unclipping.

I didn't actually think to look at the manual.

Don't worry. You'll only do it once.

Sadly not - that's why I'm scared.

I've read that the Shimano multi-release are the easiest to
get out of.

Yes, they are easy to get out of. Can be used in terrain where many would
prefer flat pedals.
However, u have to have SPD pedals, they will hardly work with eggbeaters.
