Since I started using buckets, I really like how easy it is to transfer to the bucket and to move around. It is really nice for grabbing readings as well if you don't have a thief. I heard a story about a dude who put his hot wort into his glass carboy and it shattered. A piece of glass flew off and severed his hand right off... Could be a urban myth, but shit, that sounds terrible... Yea. Since I started using buckets, I really like how easy it is to transfer to the bucket and to move around.

Glass carboys are very heavy and slippery (espcially when wet) and are very awkward. If choosing the glass route for primary or secondary (my preference) fermentation, get the carboy handle. It's five bucks to save the investment in the carboy and more importantly, its contents. Happy brewing!!!

That is the same way for me, or which ever doesn't have beer fermenting in it. I do have to say though, the plastic is easier to work with, but the glass is just so much cooler to see and makes me feel more sterile. Yea man.
