    I had two acrylic shower bases in my house - both cracked and needed replacing. I put stone in to replace them.

    The only advantage to acrylic is that you can get shapes other than square or rectangular. Having said that, I wouldn't buy acrylic anyway !!!

    With a shower tray the less movement that there is then the least chance of getting leaks. Get the one that seems the firmest (I would imagine the stone cast resin)
