Are concrete pools more prone to cracking than fibreglass pools in an area with high water table?

No they are not, actually they will float long before they crack if built properly. Fiberglass however will not float as easily but the floor of the pool will bulge up and pull the sides in leaving you with a huge repair. However it can be done; it is expensive, but is cheaper than tearing out a concrete pool and essentially rebuilding the entire thing.
