I had acrylic and I agree with the others is does scratch easily, but you can also buff acrylic and it is much clearer than glass unless it is Starfire. If it were me I would do acrylic for a few different reasons.
Easy to drill - Can use a plain wood hole-saw
Clearer that regular glass
It is lighter. I can move my 125 acrylic by myself when it is empty. Try doing that with a glass 125g.
You just need to be careful and not use abrasives. I would also talk to Billy or Thomas at Reef Keepers in Clayton. He keeps mostly acrylic aquariums and they and they look incredible.
