In my opinion this is strictly better than a carboy. It's lighter, easier to clean and move around, and practically impossible to break. It's even around the same price or possibly cheaper than equivalent carboys. An all around great product!
Price Payed: $25.00
Recommended? Yes
Pros: * Great price
* Easy to clean
* Easy to handle
* You can watch fermentation
Cons: * None!
 
I exclusively use better bottles for my fermentation. I own 6 of them. They are long lasting and have provided me with great fermentation's.
They can scratch easily but, as long as you give it a good soak and don't have to scrub to hard the better bottles are easy to clean.
Price Payed: $27.00
Recommended? Yes
Pros: Strong, Lightweight, good beer
Cons: Scratches easily
 
I think that if i had the choice again that i would have bought the glass carboy for 10 bucks more. the musting cap wont slide over the opening without having to really work at it.

its light
Cons: scratchable
the musting cap has a hard time fitting the opening
 
The better bottle works great as a secondary fermentor if you do not plan on leaving your beer in secondary for very long, but never use it as a primary fermentor or it will be impossible to clean. I wish I would have bought glass instead of this.
