I would not use plastic at all since it will not withstand all climatic influences over time. If it is for a temporal hobby project, using ABS is ok, but no plastic will be durable. The colors also will wash out over the years. Only metal plates are safe to withstand all climatic influences...you can read more about it on ramsign.com/pages/metal-signs. This article features a nice in-depth view on different materials and technologies of sign making ;-)

Do you think that glass is cleaner than plastic in water bottles?

I would say glass. Glass is nonporous and easily cleaned and disinfected. Plastic is soft and the molecules making up the plastic bottle may leach into the water.
