I prefer the plastic F2 intec verses the metal Fintec ones. because plastic doesn't conduct cold like metal. As for removal I use a yeti bottle opener tethered to jacket on the lift and try if possible not to step on snow before stepping in. But if you have to paddle around I use the Dakine stomp pad that has this nice scraper along with the crabgrab stomp pad to clear snow which is very similar to the dakine one mentioned earlier.
