In the sales last year I bought a couple of Thornes plastic plus queen excluders which I was impressed with this season.

They don't get stuck down as much as the wooden ones and they seem to lift up nicely rather than flick up like the wooden ones do sometimes.

Early days yet but I purchased another large batch in their sale, think they were like £3 each. XP Queen Excluder PLUS
I seem to remember those being thrown out by Theapiarist.org (Autumn cleaning - The Apiarist) in his recent clean out because they warp so much. I guess you haven't had that issue?
 
No, not noticed any warping. Used with Abelo poly boxes if that has any impact. Only done one season so far so maybe too early to tell.
