no, the reason I would go with acrylic is it is much more cost effective

If you are careful you won't put any noticeable scratches in an acrylic tank. We had one for almost a year and we never scratched it. However it was a huge PITA to clean the tank carefully.
We bought an acrylic magnet which worked great if you cleaned it everyday, and while cleaning you were careful enough to not get sand stuck in the magnet. However it was usually a few days to a week before we would get around to cleaning the tank. By then you would have to scrub it by hand with a filter floss pad, which worked very well, but took a lot of time and effort. IMO much easier to clean a glass tank with a razor blade attached to a magfloat.

Not in the long run. If it's a reef tank they don't hold up well long term without getting all scratched to hell from regular cleaning of algae especially any coralline or hard greens that need to be scraped off . If it's a fowlr things like puffers and triggers can scrap it all up and even heard some sharks can as well.
