If you use non-glare glass or acrylic, which do you feel is more important: less reflections or better sharpness?
(Non-glare glazing used a matted finish to reduce the glare)

I'm not a big fan of acrylic either. I will use it for big pieces that have to be shipped, though. I'll use OP-3 on anything bigger than 30x40 that is going to shipped rather than hand-delivered. O.P-3 acrylite is UV resistant, but not non-glare.
Glass-wise, I tend towards Conservation Clear rather than Reflection Control. But many times I wish I had some non-glare in the booth displays.
To me less reflections is more important, especially when I have the photos in the booth. I offer the non- glare glass as a standard on all my framed work and offer customers the option of upgrading to museum glass. The shop I take my work to uses the Tru Vue glass:
- Non-glare: http://www.tru-vue.com/Tru-Vue/Products/reflection-control/
-Museum: http://www.tru-vue.com/Tru-Vue/Products/museum-glass-anti-reflective/
Never, never acrylic. It scratches and just doesn't seem appropriate for our black and white photography, which is carefully nuanced for its light and shadow, that the non glare glass hides.
