The metal boom, my favorite question.  Everyone has to do what works best
for them, but I have used a lot of metal crossbooms with good luck.  The
only actual study of it I have ever seen agrees that it can be used as long
as one very small area is avoided.  Check out:

I'll let the others answer about the 2400 MHz beacons, as I am only now
getting a station back together.
