I'm not against buckets, thinking about picking up one or two actually. What I don't like about them is they are easily scratched, and the scratch marks can harbor bacteria, also they don't hold an air tight seal.

If you fill the bucket with water and sanatizer, the weight of the water will push its way into the crack, more brew lore. Its alot like the you need to replace your bucket every x amount of years/months/brews.i know a guy that has brewed 100 gallons or so a year for 12 years with the same bucket, no problems.
I highly suggest a bucket or two and a carboy, only if you ever want to secondary anything. Save the money for more malts and hops
