Yes, I've experimented with each of those and I agree with your findings, metal wall plates do not perform well in my system either. I tried several brands, including both magnetic and non magnetic, stainless steel types.
My favorite is the non-breakable Pass Seymour constructed of Nylon (not plastic). I have provided a link to an image of that product at the bottom of my post.
Try these if your willing to experiment, and tell us if they work for you. They're very inexpensive and look like a standard builder grade cover at first glance.
For what it's worth, I don't like metal outlet boxes either, I choose the oversize Nylon outlet boxes available at Home Depot ($1.69 each).
The great thing about Nylon boxes, regardless of outlet design, you can have isolated or non isolated ground as plugs do not share contact via the ground strap. A great option that sounds better and provides choices.
