Glass or Acrylic??

Well, as many of you already know my tank split and I had a beautiful close up of Niagra Falls in my living room Sunday morning. Heres the thread if you missed it:

I am now in the market for a new tank. I myself am leaning towards acrylic for obvious reasons. I never want to go through with that again. I understand that acrylic scratches a LOT easier, but I will take a few scratches here and there for piece of mind. My wife also wants this piece of mind.
A few questions:
Will a dsb work in an acrylic tank? Has anyone attempted this and had any success without 10,000 scratches?
Who are the best makers of acrylic tanks? I am looking for a standard 125, and I would like to have it by this weekend if possible. My fish look a little p-off in the 55g I have them in currently.
I have heard it all about scratching. Please give me some personal experiences and why you would choose one over the other. Thanks!

I have a acylic tank it scratches but there are kits for it. From what ive heard is the acrylic is much clearer and you can see a lot better but the acrylic doesn't do the temp swings the glass does. Acrylic is 17 times stronger and won't crack easily. Also you can drill it yourself easily

the scratches just depend on how well you take care of the tank. Also ive heard that it is mainly what you use to clean it and if you scrap the sand with the cleaning pad. Kent offers the plastic cleaners to help with it

I am a Klutz so I went glass.

same as above poster so i went glass too... if a tank > 100g i might consider acrylic but i really don't want to worry about scratches. The reason over 100g? becaues the water pressure is greater, rocks are bigger etc.... but i remember my first tank, 20g acrylic and the glue/seal or whatever came undone and the tank was forever a bow tank =)
