Which mash paddle would you go for?

I'm posting this here as not sure where it best fits...I've got a couple of long plastic spoons that I've used for years.
One thing about them is they easily bend when used in hotter water..ok for using in a sugar wash after you've add the cold water.

I've been thinking about buying a new brew paddle, to go with the BM...now I'm in a quandary....do I go stainless steel?

Or a wooden one?

Whatever next?
Brewing while wearing a gimp mask?
Or do some of you do that already?

I use a ss catering spoon. But I do like the idea of extra long.... But how long is that exactly?

I use a 23 inch (58cm) stainless steel shoe horn.

Cost well under a fiver from Aldi or Lidl and has never been used for any other purpose.
