I use mostly plastic, some ceramic, and I have started using these melamine cat bowls with a wide bottom and a rubber ring on the bottom... keeps them from flipping it.

Re: Water bowl poll
Mostly plastic--Target sells these little dishes for kittens or something that are exactly the right size to fit in my hatchling bins. They're very smooth on the edges and underside, and have 'fingerholds' that a snake can crawl under, so putting one in the back of the bin makes a water bowl that doubles as a hide. Because the bins are low, they can't flip them. Perfect for hatchlings.
I'm still working out the best solutions for the adults, but I have a range of dishes and bowls.

I use the plastic with Microban "technology". They are about $5 at walmart for the medium and $7 or so for the one large that I needed.

Ceramic, Bowl doesn't tip over easily and I can wash in dishwasher. (needs to be rinsed afterwards, avoids soapy drinking water LOL)

I like the big plastic corner bowls made for reptiles in my cages, because they are space efficient, nice-looking and easy to wash in the dishwasher. For my racks I use those little glass Pyrex dishes, because they are also easy to wash in the dishwasher and don't tip over easily.
