Cast Iron tubs the finish is stronger in most cases then fiberglass BUT there are new acrylic tubs like Americast that are just as strong (and cost the same) as Cast
Cast Iron will not shift like the plastic tubs do BUT you do have a lot more heat loss as the mass of the cast iron is hard to keep warm.
Acrylic tubs you have to be extra careful what cleaning agents to use as the finish can scratch more easily

What is the best type of septic tank -concrete or fiberglass and what are the pros and cons of each type.?
Fiberglass tanks are a later development to the traditional concrete tanks, and many people now see them as a superior product. They are much lighter so transporting them to your location is simpler and being lighter weight means it will take less effort to install. Despite being lighter, fiber glass is actually stronger than concrete and because there are no pores in fiberglass it means that they are not prone to attack by sewer gases that can cause the concrete tanks to deteriorate. This means a fiberglass tank should last longer than a concrete tank.

Pros and cons of a Steel door vs fiberglass door?
I prefer the fibreglass because it will not dent like steel. A door is constantly subjected to being kicked open, bumped by carried objects or scratched by sharp edges of items and a steel door will pretty much show each and every one of these. Naturally the fibreglass door will suffer too but not as much and not nearly as obviously. In all other respects they're pretty much the same.
