The things that go in favour about plastic tubs is that they hold ambient temps better, the plastic holds heat better, they are way way cheaper to buy and they are extremely transportable and stackable if required. Plus you can hose them out if they get too grubby. But, they aren't aesthetically pleasing to your eyes or blend in with your television cabinet or kitchen cupboards.

I think you will find that timber is the most insulative material commonly used for sake cages. Glass and plastic have similar insulative qualities to each other of virtually zilch, so their choice is price driven.
