The majority of plastic cups can be reused or recycled. Polystyrene, or foam, cups are not widely recyclable. Cost wise, plastic cups tend to more inexpensive than polystyrene cups.
Foam will insulate better than plastic.

Window glass is a better conductor compared to a plastic foam cup because glass is a solid material with higher thermal conductivity, allowing heat to pass through it more easily. Plastic foam cups have air pockets in their structure which act as insulators and reduce heat transfer, making them poor conductors.
Foam lets extra cold air reach the water
Yes, but I have always found the plastic better. They hold the hair better and aren't squishy like the foam.
Polystyrene is a plastic. I think you meant "polystyrene foam", which would be correct.
Foam is NOT plastic!
Plastic foam is generally a better insulator than wrap because it has a higher R-value, which measures the material's resistance to heat flow. Foam insulation can provide better thermal performance and help reduce energy costs more effectively than wrap.
stira foam is a better insulator because it will keep it warm
Probably plastic cups, but it would depend on the comparative smoothness of the containers. the dissolved gas in soda needs a nucleation site to form a gas bubble, this can be a dirt particle or in this case the walls of the container.
Window glass is a better conductor of thermal energy compared to a plastic foam cup. This is because glass has a higher thermal conductivity due to its solid structure, allowing heat to pass through more easily than the insulating properties of foam.
