As for the delrin skids, several teams have used them in the past with success (success being in that they could move and control their robot accurately, not always actually winning matches). That being said, depending on your design, they may or may not offer any advantages or disadvantages over casters or dead omnis.
I know 422 has used skids several times, including 2003, 2004, and 2006 (probably 2005 as well, but I'm not positive). Here's a picture of their 2006 bot (which could make it up the ramp):
