I would aslo suggest the fibreglass, as after cutting you can close in the cut ends for a nice finished look when the front is opened.

I would think the fiberglass ones would hold their shape better when cut at the body seam, also they would be easier to add fiberglass mat to the backside if you did need to re inforce them.
