Just wondering what everyone's preference is and if there is a difference. Any comments are appreciated.

for what? it depends on what purpose.

personaly i like nice thick glass !!!i feel its harder to scratch....a slightly abrasive cleaning tool like a plastic scourer/scrubbie can make a real mess on acrylic but wont toutch glass:)

i agree with bgh even though acrylic is lighter i prefer glass for its resistance to scratching
