Some pedals have allen wrench sockets (?? what is that

seen, but there are probably other sizes.

That's only for emergencies, like when a pedal comes loose on the trail. Use
the 15mm.

Is there something better about using an open-ended wrench over an
allen wrench?

On an old garage sale bike, the allen wrench approach was how I got a
very difficult pedal off. 6mm on a ratchet with a cheater bar. But
there may be tricks to holding the cranks and pushing on your typical
wrench that I don't know.
