Many keepers in the UK use glass. That's not a bad choice. I would recommend getting the largest viv possible, and raise it up in it. So you won't have to buy a larger one down the road. Do you know what locale you'll be getting and how old it will be?

Also I have found that the best way to get the temperatures is a simple infrared thermometer. You can get them on amazon or ebay for less than $15(USD) and it way faster and way more accurate than those analog thermometers.
I'm sure you already know this as well but making sure that there are multiple levels and available branches to thermoregulate themselves.
