Poll: Glass or Plastic t-tops most preferable on TTA's? No hardtop option for poll.

Which is the "most preferable"amongst t-tops:I am just curious, but please no "if i can have 3 ttas, I would like?" "If this is a race car only, I would like?" just a simple glass or plastic.
1. Glass tops
2. Plastic (lexan) (lucite) tops

My vote is for Lexan. That's what I have. However, they DO scratch and the corners can sometimes crack.

But it's (somewhat) rare to have since GM replaced *most* with glass under warranty I believe.

You can get glass fairly easily.

Thanks everybody:
For taking the time to vote in the poll. And when I said that I wasn't interested in the various conditions I only meant that I was interesteed in the voting/poll outcome without and modifiers. I did not mean to sound harsh or that people were not welcome to post why they made the decioion that thye did.
Thanks again.
Anybody ever weighed a plastic and a glass to determine the difference?
