foam or screen filter -- & where ?

Greetings.

I need a pop filter (or two). Two questions.

1) Are there significant sonic differences between foam & screen?

2) If not, I'm inclined towards foam. But prices for the name brand filters are simply outrageous. Can anyone suggest where I might find a reasonable source for filters that might fit

i) an AT2020
ii) an SM57

Pop filter madness

So, I was buying a pop filter the other day, and it seems there actually are choices. I've only used the panty hose kind, and they seem to work just fine (until the gooseneck falls down, or the clip fails me)

I saw these metal mesh pop filters that saposedly "force" the air down and away from the mic instead of stopping it from moving toward the mic.
