Glass - heavy, doesn't scratch as easier, has a green tinge unless you pay extra for Starphire glass
Acrylic (Plastic) - light, much more expensive, scratches easily, but can be easily polish out, does not have a tint
The only problem you're going to have with acrylic and plecos is that the plecos will scratch up the acrylic badly, especially panaques. If this is going to be a pleco tank go glass.

It could be. I couldn't answer that. One other concern I forgot to mention is that large acrylic tanks are prone to bowing, so that's another consideration.
i think i made a mistake with this comment,i thought my small aqua one 620 was plastic bit its glass
