Depends on how flexible the panel is(both before and after cutting the hole). If its super floppy, then Acrylic, if its pretty rigid, then the glass.

Tempered glass would be ideal but a bit more expensive, I personally did a window mod and just regular glass, if your not very careful acrylic is good since it won't shatter and cut you.

If I do break it I'll just get a new piece since it was only $15 with tax and everything and tempered is around $50 -$100.

 

I have a write up on window modding below in my signature under Modding that goes over cutting and adding in a new case window.
