deck anti-skid

Any suggestions for the best deck anti-skid product.

Water based "Rhino" like coating does not seem tough enough and attracts dirt.
I see that there are poly beads to add to paint, and imagine that one could
sprinkle sand. Are there any drawbacks to either method, and is a better
commercial paint product available?

How about stick down pads?

Is this for a steel deck?

I do have an opinion on this, but it's just an opinion. I have friends who
built an aluminum boat, and they used a nonskid decking from Vetus, like this:

I've walked on this and the nonskid qualities of this are incredible. You
stick it down with contact cement. Lasts about 20 years. A bit
industrial-looking, but not out of place on a steel boat.
