I have a couple I like. Both have notches so in addition to pushing I
can hold the back of the board against the table. Without this, the
stick can go under the board, causing it to rise. Kick-back is only a
millisecond of bad luck behind.

Good point!

I keep one of the sticks on the fence and the other has a magnet and
sits stuck to the left side of the table. The idea is that they're
readily accessible when they're needed.

I have been reading the older book, Cabinet Making and Millwork, by John
Feirer. It seemed to get more interesting when he got to the subject of
table saws. Coincidentally, I'm sure, I'm on page 285--"Pushsticks"
(only 600 pages to go...lol).
