I personaly favor using bits of rubble......glue the frags on there, and glue those onto the rock.....gives you plenty o time to rescape before they encrust.
unless your putting them in a rack.....John had some cool ones at Yourreef that he was trying out that fit into eggcrate.....I don't know if hes selling them yet though.

argonite sand + liquid superglue = instant frag disks
The cool thing about them is there immediately ready to use. No curring time needed and it doesnt get any cheaper. Completely inert compaired to some cements that do need curring, but because of the sand, corals and coraline quickly encrust.

I got some from Warren (fishsoldseparately) and love them. For non-local plugs, we got some samples of the "coral cradles" from Gresham (I forget where he ordered them from) and they seem to work out very nicely so far. They are plastic and are designed to fit into egg crate, in a multitude of ways 
we use them both, and like them both 
. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The ones from Warren are nice and compact and if used to transport a frag into a tank, seem to really "blend" well. The coral cradles are good for larger frags (although the ones from Warren also come in larget sizes, but we didn't try any out yet). And the coral cradle ones will "lock in" into the egg crate and have a wider base, which is a plus and a minus.. plus is more stability, minus is if you are cramped for space in your prop tank . Gresh also had a neat idea to attach some thin, but larger, pieces of rock/coral skeleton, cut with a tile saw, to the tops of the plugs. They make a great plug for mounting zoas.. I haven't done it yet (like I have free time lately 
) but I want to move all of our zoa frags onto those, they just really seem to be a better option for zoas. Plus they are flat and stable, something I can't say about the rock pieces that we used for some of our zoas

I use the larger frag disc for zoas. You might want to try that Tom.
Thanks for the props on the plugs also. Exotic Aq also uses my plugs. Its getting popular.
