Default Shower: Acrylic or Fiberglass?

Got to the site at Sterling. They are part of Kohler. I just put in a
shower that is not fiberglass but some mix of plastic. It has a trade name
but can't remember off hand. In either case, the way it is installed it is
very rigid and I'm very satisfied with the installation. The biggest thing
to be aware of is the base. Mine, when put down, wasn't exactly on a level
surface and had some flexing to it when you stood on it. Already installed
with the drain connected so it couldn't be moved. Fix was to fill in all the
spaces with foam. Took four cans but it did the job very nicely.

I'm planning to have install a shower and I'm not sure about the
material I should choose; acrylic or fiberglass?

Problem is I want to discard acrylic right from the start because I'm
under the impression that this material is so tin and fragile to
impact etc.

But the shower I would like to have is acrylic :-((

Should I persist in rejecting shower made of acrylic?

Any comments that would help me make a choice between acrylic and
fiberglass
