Just got a new Crosstac Recon mat in the mail, and super-stoked ...
What do y'all reckon are the best tent stakes to use for anchoring mats in the field?

Keen to hear some sensible recommendations - and why / what features you think make them superior to other choices.
What do y'all reckon are the best tent stakes to use for anchoring mats in the field?
My main parameters are:
- Lightweight (this will be used for field shooting, so no large, steel stakes)
- Don't require a hammer to put into ground - so either a design that works under a boot heel, or perhaps some of the 'screw-in' types I've seen ...
- Actually will hold a mat down that has eyelets (many tent stakes are designed more for running guylines at an angle)
- Would work on grass, hard dirt, and rocky ground
- Can be removed without tools
- Ideally, not a screaming bright color ... yeah, I know, less likely to lose it, but why have a tacticool camo shooting mat and go and use bright pink stakes?
