I've been using glass tanks for almost 20 with great results. You'll hear plenty of people bash glass, but honestly millions of reptile keepers use it with success.
Don't get me wrong, pvc display enclosures are fantastic, but not cheap.
There are tons of tricks to help get glass dialed in properly, then it's just maintenance.
I'd happy to help you get started and setup nicey nice if you decide to go glass.
