I think plastic works fine for hobby woodworkers, but definitely prefer the twist lock, bayonet style. Too easy to drop a screw into the special spot in every workshop that is a portal to another universe. Kerplunk and it's gone forever.
I haven't tried a magnetic one, but they would be limited to iron tables or plates. They won't stick to plastic or aluminum. I splurged for a Woodpecker extra thick plate, with twist lock inserts. They are plastic, and I got the set with several sizes of openings. It's pretty too.
