Clean glass is the best.
Soak in rubbing alcohol. Add some salt and some air and shake to scrub. Rinse with hot water and dry. Be thorough.
Neither. And no rubber gaskets either - glass-on-glass ftw.
If you need a screen, flatten the crap out of a small bit of pot until it forms a flat thin disc. Put that in the bottom of the bowl and add pot that has been through a grinder. The ash will do an amazing job of transferring heat away such that the 'screen' can last 3+ bowls before burning up as well. Repeat.
Glass screens are great but they break and get lost. Metal is not inert under heat. Nor is rubber. Making a screen out of pot has none of these problems. You don't really have to buy anything because you end up smoking it anyway. And if you know where your stash is (you do know where your stash is, right?) you know where a screen is too.
Anymore though, I'm too lazy to do that (even though it's simple and takes seconds to do) and instead I just take it on the tongue. If you roll your tongue downward and make a 'tongue wall' in front of the incoming air stream, all the stuff that comes through the piece will hit and usually stick to your tongue. Then you can spit it discretely into a garbage can or whatever.
I almost never get anything down my throat and I pull cherries through my glass all the time. Pretty lazy, eh?
But if I have to choose between metal or glass, it has to be glass.
