Epoxy: Epoxy rollers *PIC*

What kind of rollers should I use to apply epoxy? It seem like most people (of those who use rollers at all) use foam rollers. But how should the foam look like? Thick or thin?
At a marine shop I have also seen some aluminium rollers with grooves (Picture). Has anyone ever tried to use such rollers? Horizontal or vertical grooves?

If I choose to use foam rollers, how many should I buy? How long can I expect to use one roller? Just for one batch or a full side of hull/deck. Can I clean the rollers?
