Indicators: are the metal ones better?

I realize this is slightly off topic, but.....

An even worse thing is when base umpires are carrying indicators in state tournament finals and staring at them after every pitch. Saw that one last week.

Some of the same guys had brushes and cleaned off the pitcher's plate and the bases between innings and gave an "out" mechanic for EVERY fly ball caught during the game.
