How do you guarantee it stays on? Will glue do or is there a better way?

glue will do ..
you could allways cut of the metal base (Assuming it's got one) and pin the fig into place

It depends on the model. For most models, Super Glue will hold them just fine. A few models may require pinning, or the use of a silicon based glue.
For example, most reaper models can just be glued don to a plastic base. Confrontation models tend to be a lot more top heavy and often will require me to pin them to the base as well.

This is a WestWind model of a zombie. I had it glued down and then started modelling a helmet on and he came off. So clearly I exerted too much pressure, but since this figure needs to be sent to Torg for the NBA team I was wondering whether it would break in transit.

How long did you let the glue set before it broke? I used a westwind fig too and the base is not getting anywhere away from the fig.
