Which do you think would be more expensive. Glass doors, acrylic doors or plexiglass?

ACRYLIC and plexiglass are the same thing, cheap acrylic will scratch easier than glass but Glass should still be more expensive than some of the better acrylic materials out there. Acrylic is also clearer than glass

Acrylic is pretty expensive too. Still cheaper than glass though. I have a guy coming this weekend to see how much this project is going to cost me.

Just be very careful when you clean it. I've managed to scratch acrylic before with just a microfiber cloth.

Yikes. I would never think a microfiber cloth would scratch them. That's crazy. What the hell can you clean them with that's safe?

I imagine it wasn't the cloth itself but some stray dust/debris that I was just grinding into the plastic without even realizing...

Now I use one of those camera air blowers to blow away any surface dust that I can see before ever touching the microfiber cloth to the acrylic.

I would never get acrylic because of scratching, glass is so much easier to clean and pretty cheap also
