I would think that the foam ones are dangerous. There is a 'crackly' 
feel to them sometimes!

I pick up metal muffin tins at yard sales, usually for $0.25 or so. Then 
I connect them to ground through a 1 megohm resistor. I also have a 
metal yard(meter)-stick attached to the front of my workbench which is 
similarly grounded, a wrist strap and an anti-static mat. All of these 
items are connected to a common ground, through resistors.
