The correct answer is .... It depends!
Feature for feature they are nearly the same, it all depends on what you, the consumer, wants for a backyard experience. If you want the backyard lagoon with completely unique form and water features then concrete would probably suit you best.
If you need something with little maintenance, easy on little feet and knees, little upgrade cost in the future, than maybe a fibreglass would fit the bill.

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.

How do you fibreglass a inground pool liner pool?
Fiberglass pool shells are shipped in a single piece directly from the manufacturer. As a result, you don't actually linea pool with fiberglass the way you would with concrete or vinyl. Instead, installing a fiberglass pool simply means digging a hole in which to place the already completed shell.

What is better a fiberglass pool or a concrete pool?
Fiberglass is because concrete will crack Yes I agree also, because we had a concrete pool when I was growing up and we were always repairing leaks, maybe the pool was just bad, but now that we purchased a fiberglass pool.

Is a ceramic or concrete pool better?
A pool liner is a material made out of a substance like vinyl, installed to retain water in the pool and prevent leakages to the pool walls and floor. The walls of your pool are made of concrete; water leakages weaken the integrity of these concrete structures. A pool liner stops possible damages to the concrete by preventing leaks. If your pool is tiled, there’s a liner between the tiles and the pool. Pool liners have an average lifespan of ten years, though this may be affected by some factors. One of these is the chemical (im)balance of your pool. A chemically imbalanced pool will bring quicker damage to the lining of the pool, due to the high concentration of chemicals in the water.
