I like using used trash bags. Added flavor. Glass is what I own, so that is what I use. I doubt you will notice a diff. on anything that is kept for under 6 months in any container. As for longer than that, normally you have it bottled by then or you forgot about it. If you forgot, then you deserve any off flavor you may encounter :P

I use cornies. Lighter and cheaper than glass, totally air-tight, can't spill, break or admit light. And those handles ...
[Actually, I use them for long secondary ferments. Buckets for primary , 3-4 weeks max.]

I use plastic buckets for three weeks and glass carboy for the rest of the pre-bottle. Don't want to see that stuff until it's pretty

I use 24qt bayou classic pots for fermenation. i drilled a hole in the lid and insert a stopper with a blow off tube
http://www.amazon.com/Bayou-Classic-24-qt-Stock/dp/B0015VL7IC
Easy to clean cuz it fits in my sink, easy to top crop, easy to check hydrometer readings, I can fit 2 in a mini fridge fermenter with a slight modification of the fridge, safe Also, it can be pressurized using a large oring.
Best of all worlds.

I use both plastic buckets and glass carbouy, which ever isn't currently holding fermenting beer.
