Ferrofluid displays
I made this for a public display at the Gravity Discovery Center. The requirements I wanted were that it be interactive, non-messy, low maintenance, and very clearly show the spikes without glare from lights.

NIB Magnets
I use NIB magnets in many of my projects. NIB stands for Neodymium-Iron-Boron and are the most powerful in common use.
