Cast iron can cost between $450 and $1200, steel is cheaper and then acrylic even cheaper. Its up to your pocket book. Cast is quieter but a real bear to install due to the weight. What is your price ranch?
Hey B1, found this after typying you reply to earlier reply, I want a solid tub that is least resistant to scratching , chipping and easiest to keep clean. I think after putting the sledge to the old blue iron tub for removal, I can easily see why it lasted over 35 years. I highly recommend cast iron tub for longest life especially if say for big brady bunch family. Steel is second best lighter but less resilent to chipping than the iron tub, noisy too, next I'd go with as you mentioned , the best quality performance fiberglass brands. American stardard run about 426.00 at lowes or HD .. personally, I rather be safe and spend the extra 2-300 dollars for a cast or steel virsus acrylic glass tub.
