We tried staples, but putting a staple into foam doesn't do much. You get a little bit of lateral stabilization, but it doesn't do anything to prevent pulling directly away from the surface.
We solved the foil peeling problem by wrapping every edge of our panels with vinyl applyed with contact cement. Also keeps water out of the foam. Those seams are all super strong, none of come loose yet.
