Favorite anti-static mat? (hackertalks.com)

I've gone through a bunch of different anti-static mats, but they are always lacking, or sticky, or smelly

What makes the ideal anti-static mat for you? What is your favorite?

How do you usually ground your mats?

I honestly consider them to be a consumable.

The ones I've used always get splashes of solder, flux and other uncleanable things onto them at some point. If it gets too much, I'll switch to a new one.
