where the cleat twists out on the outer edge of the pedal there is a wear line and the pedal/ shoe interface squeaks every pedal turn even when sprayed with lub e

It might be that the cleats aren't angled correctly on your shoes and are trying to twist with every pedal turn. If you sit on a kitchen worktop and dangle your feet, they will point in a relaxed manner. Make a note of where each foot points and then adjust the cleat angles to replicate those when fixed to the pedals.

Never had pedal's wear out. Cleats only wear when they unclip accidentally. Squeaks can be sole of the shoe. I WD40 the springs etc on mine.

I have. The hard plastic of the rounded front of the cleat will wear away the oppositely shaped alloy of the pedal it engages with. Eventually the cleat will no longer engage. The alloy actually seems to wear faster than the cleat plastic!
