Laminated is sometimes cheaper, as it doesn't travel so much. Either
way, shop around. Most "glaziers" these days only install ready-made
sealed units and barely cut glass at all. If you're looking at the
rarer products, then it pays to go somewhere that deals with them
regularly - otherwise they're likely outsourcing the job anyway and
taking another cut from it.

Don't use wired, as it's weaker than plain glass and has really nasty
edges when broken. Fire resistance is wired glass' only virtue and
even that doesn't excuse it.
