I've never used metal, but I have to think that plastic is better. Rigid
plastic is the best. You can get a range of professional molds (Chocolate
World, other Eurpean manufacturers) from Chocolat Chocolat in Canada (nice
people and good service) and from Tomric in the US (Tomric also sells the
cheap bendy kind, if that's what you want.). Tomric has a catalog. Chocolat
Chocolat has a web site that has most of the Chocolate World line on it,
although they carry more than is pictured there.

What kind of thing were you planning to make? 3-D figures, or molded
chocolates? If the latter, ther rigid, heavy-duty professional molds are
infinitely easier to use than the kind you usually see.
