Trying to decide between a plastic (acrylic/fiberglass) shower base or one of those tile-ready pans. I’ve heard the tile ones look nicer but are way more work and $$$. Anyone regret going one way or the other?

Plastic Vs. Tile-Ready Shower Bases: Which One's Less Hassle?
Honestly, unless you’re dead set on a custom look, plastic bases are just way less headache. I’ve seen too many tile pans leak after a few years because someone missed a step or used the wrong thinset. Sure, tile looks sharp when it’s new, but it’s not always worth the extra cost and maintenance. Plastic might not be as “fancy,” but it’s reliable and quick to install. If you’re not obsessed with aesthetics, you probably won’t regret going the simpler route.
