Depends on the application.  You could use aluminum (or copper) foil for 
a great low impedance ground, but it wouldn't work very well for 
lightning protection!

I think this is off topic for the TenTec list.  Now QRU.

They then use short/wide straps soldered directly to this base to connect to the back of the equipment. It doesn't look "pretty" but it does mean a low-inductance path between all the bits of kit.
