Define 'best'. They are both transparent ;~). Acrylic is lighter, will
absorb impacts better, marks easier, repairs easier.


How would youre pair a scratch on acrylic?
I only have one acrylic tank and I'm SO careful. However, it's in a busy
kitchen on the counter and I know my hubby isn't as careful of it as I am.
It would be good knowledge to have in the back of my head. = )

They sell rubbing compound for acrylic. Then you sand it with fine
wet/dry sandpaper using the rubbing compound. It's basically the same
procedure as fixing scratches in glass (with different compounds), but
because the acrylic is much softer, it take less effort. As with
anything, ymmv depending on the location and depth of the scratch.
