Glass or Plastic Goldfish Aquarium?

I have a filtered plastic Marina Aquarium. I personally think it's okay, but I am getting a new aquarium in August, and I would like to know if there is a big difference, such as:
Health Benefiets
Personal Thoughts
Etc...
Thanks!
Oh, and what kind of goldfish should I get?

Really, it's a matter of personal choice. The main pros of a glass aquarium are it's resistance to scratches and it's clarity (acrylic tends to bend light strangely, and distort your view of whatever's inside the tank). Acrylic (plastic) tanks tend to scratch really easily, however, tend to be a lot lighter, and sturdier (if you compare them directly, ie, 1cm thick acrylic vs 1cm thick glass, the glass is going to be more likely to break, and if it breaks, it's going to shatter and come tumbling down as opposed to crack slightly and have a little leak). That being said, all my aquariums (I've got 5 running including 1 120 gal, 1 90 gal, and 1 75 gal) are all glass aquariums, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Acrylic just distorts too much, and scratches too easily (the scratches are easy to fix, though).
