BUYING A NEW GREENHOUSE

morning fellow gardeners, for my birthday in September I am going to buy a new greenhouse, to replace my plastic cover one. 6x6 size. so do I choose a glass one or the polycarbonate one. which would help my budget, so I throw it open to you for your help. thanks.

I recently bought a little wooden one with polycarb panels, having had the plastic ones, and so far it's fine - apart form blowing over yesterday in the rough weather! I only have it to grow tomatoes, but might use it overwinter for a few things. I don't really have room for anything bigger so it was a good choice for me.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I'd avoid polycarbonate unless it's going somewhere which is out of the wind, all of the time.
I spent 4 months looking at many suppliers before I got to Rhino.
They give you the address of 3 local people who have bought from them and you can go and see it in situ and ask the owners whats good and bad about it
My only advice is if you are not restricted by available space buy as big a one as you can as 6 x 6 is restricting you to what you can grow in future
Imagine if you get excited and want to "do this or that " and its then too small
