epoxy is usually stronger (not always, depends if you get a decent board), but its all down to the rider whether they like it or not. neither one is better than the other really, its personal, what you prefer or dont like.

Repairs on fiberglass are usually easier.

there's so much going on now in the area of composites and new material, though, it's best to do some google research and read your mags.

A quick search using the search function usually yields the info your after. If not ask away.
