Default What material to use for a two piece tub?

I am ripping out a one piece tub and replacing it with a new tub and
surround. I'm on a tight budget but still want decent quality. The
more I look the more options I have...three and five piece surrounds,
acrylic, high-gloss something or others, Swanstone, Veritek, who
knows. I believe right now my tub is attached to the studs. The
bottom is cracking up because it was installed without any support
beneath it, and it's a horrid beige anyway. Through the years I have
been able to scrub it with anything, and the surface looks fine, so
I'd like to get something somewhat scrubable...not some sissy finish
that needs to be handled with chamois cloth and waxed and polished,
and ends up ruined when Grandma comes to visit, does me a favor and
scrubs it with Comet. I can't make up my mind...any stories out
there
to help me?
