Check out northernbrewer.com for their started kit. Really good. Still use most of what I got in that kit. And it's a great deal.

I bought the kit with 2 carboys and got the glass carboys
First, what is ERNST?
Second,

Read that sticky. It has all the points on glass vs plastic vs buckets etc. (plus LOTS of other comparisons). In the end they all make beer and it's personal preference. If you end up going the glass route, treat the carboys with a lot of respect. Especially when they are full. You can lose a finger and a lot of beer with a little slip-up. Brew Haulers are awesome and I would recommend them if you use carboys. Also DO NOT use the handle on the neck of the carboy to lift it whenit's full. The neck is not meant to support the weight of a full carboy.
All that being said, I love my glass carboys and got rid of my BB. Glass just seems more badass to me. Also I hated the suck-back i got when picking up the better bottle full.

I agree with zee. I love my glass carboys. I mostly use them for brew multiple beers but my IPAs I transfer out and dry hop in the smaller one. I have 6 carboys so I won't ever run out of room
It's all a matter of opinion on which you like. Both have pros and cons. I got started with glass and won't go back
