Why bother with the silicone tongs? Just get some plain Winco nine- and sixteen-inch tongs. They'll last forever in a home kitchen and you can use them with temperatures that would ruin the silicone cover.
You would use the silicone tongs to avoid scratching your delicate non-stick pan. And since they are temperature safe up to 480F, you are not that likely to ruin them with heat unless you are doing something silly. Personally, I use kitchen-supply-story tongs like you suggest, but these might serve a niche.
With few exceptions, your cooking oil would have to be smoking profusely before the pan is hot enough to damage silicone. At that point it's not quite hot enough to ruin the Teflon either.
